8 0

Answer:

81 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to figure this out. Both ways are correct.

1. Fractions

9/7=x/63

from here you cross multiply

7x=9×63

7x=567

now to get x by itself you divide by 7

x=567÷7

x=81

2. If you have 63 girls and 7 girls to each group. You can divide 63 by 7 and find out how many groups you have which is 9. 9 groups, 7 girls each. For every 7 girls there are 9 boys. 9×9 ( 9 groups, 9 boys each)

9×9=81

DEF is a dilation image of ABC. What is the scale factor?

horsena [70]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔDEF is a dilation image of ΔABC.

Rule for the dilation,

Scale factor = $\frac{\text{Length of one side of the image triangle}}{\text{Length of one side of the original triangle}}$

= $\frac{DE}{AB}$

= $\frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, scale factor by which ΔABC is dilated is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Option (2) will be the correct option.

Can you solve it ????

Dima020 [189]

Angle ABD=87 degrees
angle ABC+angle CBD= angle ABD
Therefore, 9x-1+6x+58=87
15x+57=87
15x=87-57
15x=30
x=30/15
x=2

Angle ABC= 9x-1
=9(2)-1
=18-1
=17 degrees
