If we know that Pedro bought 1
pounds of red sand, and 5
pounds of brown sand, and they both cost $4.60, then we just have to add the individual amounts of sand, since they cost the same.
So Pedro bought
lbs of sand overall. Now, we just need to multiply the cost per pound by the total amount of sand he bought.
Pedro spent $31.05 on sand, which is answer choice B.
Hope that helped =)
5x-3x=-6
2x=-6
x=-3
x equals -3 is the answer.
Original coordinates of the points:
A (8,15) ; B (12,13) ; C (8,10)
Dilated scale factor of 3.
A ⇒ 3x = 3(8) = 24 ; 3y = 3(15) = 45 ⇒ A' (24,45)
B ⇒ 3x = 3(12) = 36 ; 3y = 3(13) = 39 ⇒ B' (36, 39)
C ⇒ 3x = 3(8) = 24 ; 3y = 3(10) = 30 ⇒ C' (24, 30)
The given image forms a right triangle. So, I'll get the short leg and long leg of the right triangle to solve for the hypotenuse, length of CB.
Short leg: y value of B and C
39 - 30 = 9
Long leg: x value of B and C
36 - 24 = 12
a² + b² = c²
9² + 12² = c²
81 + 144 = c²
225 = c²
√225 = √c²
15 = c
The length of CB is 15 units.
If we consider each alphabet is at 1 unit, then U is at a distance of 1 unit and X is at a distance of 4 units . To find the scale factor, we need to see 1 multiply by what is equal to 4. And 1*4=4
So the scale factor is 4 . And the answer is 4 .
The graph is misleading because it appears to be showing a huge increase, however, it is showing this increase over a huge time span of 13 years, which is actually quite a small amount for only a few hundred customer increase.
