Rectangle ABCD is similar to rectangle JKLM. AB = 12, BC = 8, CD = 12, DA = 8, and JK = 15. What is the scale factor from JKLM to ABCD? Reduce all answers.

4/5 or 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

this problem description is not very precise. it leaves out the definition what corners or sides of JKLM correspond to corners and sides of ABCD.

I assume J and K correlate to A and B, and JK is a long side of JKLM.

so, we are going from JKLM to ABCD.

that means we are going from larger to smaller (as JK = 15 and therefore larger than AB = 12).

what is the scale factor to go from 15 to 12 ?

15 × x = 12

x = 12/15 = 4/5 or 0.8

you should pay $0.88

what is the image?

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
