So you have a 50% chance to have a boy vs a girl (1/2). If you want 3 children, that would be 1/3*1/2= 1/6 or 16.67% chance
Scale factor is always (new/original)
so it depends which rectangle came first. if it started as large and was dilated to the smaller one, then the ratio is (.5/2.5) which simplifies to 1/5 or 0.2.
16x - 5y = -33 First, you subtract 16x from both sides of the
<u>-16x -16x </u> equation
<u>-5y</u> = <u>-16x -33</u> Next, you divide both sides of the equation by -5 to
-5 -5 make "y =" form
y = 16/5x + 33/5
