Answer:

Let the three numbers be x, y and z.

Sum of the numbers is 98.

x + y + z = 98………………(i)

The ratio of the first to the second is 2/3.

x/y = 2/3.

x = 2/3 × y.

x = 2y/3.

The ratio of the second to the third is 5/8.

y/z = 5/8.

z/y = 8/5.

z = 8/5 × y.

z = 8y/5.

Put the value of x = 2y/3 and z = 8y/5 in (i).

2y/3 + y + 8y/5 = 98

49y/15 = 98.

49y = 98 × 15.

49y = 1470.

y = 1470/49.

y = 30 .

Therefore, the second number is 30.

Answer: (c)

A small hexagon was graphed on a coordinate plane. By what scale factor was the hexagon dilated to create the larger hexagon?
suter [353]

Consider the point where the hexagons meet the positive half of the y axis.

The inner hexagon meets the axis at y=4, whereas the outer hexagon meets the axis at y = 6

So, we're looking for a dilation constant k such that

4k = 6

So, solving by k we have

k = \dfrac{6}{4} = \dfrac{3}{2}
