a highschool basketball game won 36 percent of the games that it played last season the team won exactly 9 games last season what is the total number of games that the team played

Total games played = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage games won by the basketball team = 36%

Exact number of games won by the team = 9

Let the total games played by the team = x

Therefore, total number of games won = 36% of x

                                                                 =

Equation which represents the games won by the team will be,

x =

x = 25

Therefore, total games played by the basketball team are 25.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
