Both Aliyah and Ivan are correct because both chose the correct scale factor for the dilation and both describe other transformations that would produce triangle <span>. </span>
hmmm, between the three options I would go with the second one since the number of 1-foot cubes equals exactly the volume of the fish tank.
But to truly calculate the volume
5 x 3 = 15
15 x 3 = 45
45 is the volume of the fish tank
So 2.25 is 50% of the original price
let's write original price as x
50% of x = 2.25
0.5 * x = 2.25
divide both sides by 0.5
x = 4.5
The original price is 4.5
To check:
50% * (4.5) =?= 2.25
0.5 * 4.5 =?= 2.25
2.25 = 2.25
Hope this helps.
