Tania has roll of cloth that is 52.5 feet long . She uses the cloth to make scarves that are each 3.75 feet long How many scarves can Tania make

14 scarves

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the divisor 3.75 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 2 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

5250 ÷ 375 = 14

and therefore:

52.5 ÷ 3.75 = 14

Both calculated to 0 decimal places.

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
