Sienna planned a rectangular pool, as shown in the scale drawing below.

A rectangle with length 11 inches and width 7 inches.
She decides to change the length, the longer side of the pool, from 22 ft to 27.5 ft. Which expression finds the change in the scale factor?
StartFraction 11 inches over 27.5 feet EndFraction
StartFraction 22 feet over 11 inches EndFraction
StartFraction 22 feet over 27.5 feet EndFraction
StartFraction 27.5 feet over 22 feet EndFraction

The scale factor is

27.5 feet / 22 feet = 1.25.

Explanation:

Whenever you are calculating factors, you are comparing two measurements. In this problem we compared a longer length to a shorter length pool. The length was changed to (27.5 feet) and youre comparing to the length it was originally (22 feet).

Ok so you know the two measurements being compared, but how come it’s 27.5/22 and not 22/27.5? Because the value got bigger.

In this problem you had a pool with long side of 22 ft. But then you made it longer to 27.5 ft. So it scales up,

It went from 100% its length to 125% its length. So the length is 125% / 100% = 1.25 times longer than it used to be.

Here’s another example:

How do you calculate your grade percentage on a test? You take the amount of points you earned and divide by the total possible points. Your grade percentage is a comparison of your score (Compare value) compared to a perfect score (reference value) .

So lets say your test had 22 total points. You get all the answers correct so you get 22/22 points which is 22/22*100 = 100%. Let’s say you get an extra bonus question correct so you end up with even more points and you get 27.5 points out of 22. By getting the bonus points you scaled up your score! Now your score is 27.5/22 * 100 = 125%. So you went from 100% to a 125%. Or from a scale factor of 1 to 1.25.

Whenever the value is getting bigger than it was, you’re going to have a compared percentage over 100%. If the value gets smaller, then you would get a compared percentage less than 100%. Similarly a factor scale is going to be over 1 if the compared value is getting bigger, and less than 1 if it’s getting smaller.

So you don’t need to use percentages, factors are the same they just look a little different.

27.5/22 = 125% / 100% = 1.25

In summary just do this division:

(compare value)/(reference value). The result is how big the top value is compared to the bottom value.

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is stop cheating on things stoopid

step-by-step explanation:

im eatin up the 44

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
