Checking your understanding Find the quotient: 8 = 0.5
You can find the quotient by asking how many are in 8.
Think of the problem as items, each divided into 2 equal pieces.
The quotient is

Anew fountain in the shape of a hexagon will have 6 sides of equal length. on a scale drawing, the coordinates of the vertices of the fountain are: (7.5,5), (11.5,2), (7.5,−1), (2.5,−1), (−1.5,2), and (2.5,5). how long is each side of the fountain?

Mary beth used the mapping rule to find the coordinates of a point that had been rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin. examine the steps to determine whether she made an error. m (3, –6) is rotated 90° counterclockwise. (x, y) → (–y, x) 1. switch the x- and y-coordinates: (6, –3) 2. multiply the new x-coordinate by –1: (6(–1), –3) 3. simplify: (–6, –3) .
