Question

Mrs.Smith has two similiar recycling bins in her office. The dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension of the larger bin by scale factory of 0.75

Answer 1

The dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is
`0.75x`.

Explanation:

Let the dimension of the larger bin is x.

It is given that the dimension of the smaller bin can be found by dilating the dimension of the larger bin by a scale factor of 0.75

In order to find the dimension of the smaller bin multiply the dimension of the larger bin by 0.75

`(x)(0.75)=0.75x`

Hence, the dimension of the larger bin is x and the smaller bin is
`0.75x`.
