A scale drawing of a rectangle is made by using a scale factor of StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction. The original and the scale drawing are shown below.

A rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 12 inches.
[Not drawn to scale]

Which method can be used to find the dimensions of the original rectangle?
18 minus StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 17 and StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction inches and 12 minus StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 11 and StartFraction 3 over 8 EndFraction inches
StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction divided by 18 = StartFraction 5 over 144 EndFraction inches and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction divided by 12 = StartFraction 5 over 96 EndFraction inches
18 times StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 11 and one-fourth inches and 12 times StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 7 and one-half inches
18 divided by StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 28 and four-fifths inches and 12 divided by StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction = 19 and one-fifth inches

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
