Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of chocolate cakes = c

Number of lemon cakes = l

Total cakes = 27

c + l = 27 ---------------(I)

Total slices = 170

7c + 6l = 170  ---------------(II)

Multiply equation (i) by (-7) and then add. So, c will be eliminated and we can find the value of  l

(I) * (-7)        -7c - 7l = -189

(II)                <u>7c + 6l = 170  </u>   {Now add}

                         - l    = -19

l = 19

Plugin l = 19 in equation (I)

c + 19 = 27

c = 27 - 19

c = 8

Number of chocolate cakes = 8

Number of lemon cakes = 19

Sarah bought 3 1/2 pints of blueberries to make jelly. She ate 3/4 of a pint of berries on her way home. How many pints of berri
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

11/4 or 2.75 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the difference between the original amount of blueberries and the amount she ate

original amount-amount ate

3 1/2 -3/4

To subtract, we need common denominators

The common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4

3 1/2=7/2

Multiply by 2/2 to get a common denominator of 4

7/2*2/2=14/4

Now, we have common denominators and can subtract

14/4-3/4

Subtract the numerators, and leave the denominators as 4

11/4 =2.75

She has 11/4 or 2.75 pints left

If an image of a triangle is congruent to the pre-image, what is the scale factor of the dilation?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation of .1 or 1/2 would decrease the size. Since the numbers are smaller than zero the triangles would no longer be congruent. A dilation of 10 would increase the size of the triangle, causing the triangles to no longer be congruent. A scale fact of one is equivalent to the same size because 1 does not increase or decrease the size.
