A contractor needs to buy nails to build a house. The nails come in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box has 200 nails and each large box has 500 nails. The contractor bought twice as many large boxes as small boxes, which altogether had 6000 nails. Determine the number of small boxes purchased and the number of large boxes purchased.

Small boxes- 5 boxes

Large boxes- 10 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

well there are two answers for that.

1: you need 120 ones then that will equal up to 120.

2: you could also do one 100 and 2 tens.

those are the answers that i have thought of.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
