33/35 is the answer because you first subtract which gives you 1/14 then you multiply which gives you 1/7 then finally you add which gives you 33/35

Will give brainliest! Please explain how I solve the ratio 16/32=12/24

goldenfox [79]

To solve, simply simplify each fraction

(16/32)/(16/16) = 1/2

(12/24)/(12/12) = 1/2

True, the equation given to us is true.

hope this helps

1. If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter o

tester [92]

Answer:

Part 1) The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor (see the explanation)

Part 2) The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures (see the explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the perimeter of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its perimeters is equal to the scale factor

The perimeter of the new figure must be equal to the perimeter of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor

Part 2) If a scale factor is applied to a figure and all dimensions are changed proportionally, what is the effect on the area of the figure?

we know that

If all dimensions are changed proportionally, then the new figure and the original figure are similar

When two figures are similar, the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

The area of the new figure must be equal to the area of the original figure multiplied by the scale factor squared

Part 3) What would happen to the perimeter and area of a figure if the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally? For example, if the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change? Or if the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

we know that

If the dimensions were changed NON-proportionally, then the ratio of the corresponding sides of the new figure and the original figure are not proportional

That means

The new figure and the original figure are not similar figures

therefore

Corresponding sides are not proportional and corresponding angles are not congruent

A) If the length of a rectangle was tripled, but the width did not change?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2W ----> P=6L+2W

The perimeter of the new figure is greater than the perimeter of the original figure but are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W) ----> A=3LW

The area of the new figure is three times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

B) If the length was tripled and the width was decreased by a factor of 1/4?

Perimeter

The original perimeter is P=2L+2W

The new perimeter would be P=2(3L)+2(W/4) ----> P=6L+W/2

The perimeter of the new figure and the perimeter of the original figure are not proportionals

Area

The original area is A=LW

The new area would be A=(3L)(W/4) ----> A=(3/4)LW

The area of the new figure is three-fourth times the area of the original figure but its ratio is not equal to the scale factor squared, because there is no single scale factor

Amy has a garden covering 900 square feet.

blagie [28]

A.900/10=90 therefore, 10% of the garden will be covered moss roses so that transfers to 90 square feet

B.900 square feet is equal to 25% of the garden so 900x4=3600 therefore, the area of the yard in square feet could either be 30x120, 60x60, or 180x20

Write the conversion factor for converting meters to centimeters

posledela

Since we are converting meters to centimeters we are converting large to small.

Expect the answer to be a larger number. Here are some example of large to small:
2 weeks (larger unit) = 14 days (smaller unit) 14 is larger than 2
4 days (larger unit ) = 96 hours (smaller unit) 96 is larger than 4
Since there are 100cm in a meter, when we change meters to cm, we need a bigger number. The conversion factor is 100 and should be used as a multiplier.
Example: 47m x 100 = 4700 cm
