Answer:

The 6.5​-ounce cans offer the largest size at a fair cost and is the best to buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Size of the 4.5​-ounce cans of tuna in package = 4.5 × 3 = 13.5 ounce

Cost of the package= ​$4.32

Size of the 3.5​-ounce cans = 3.5 × 4 = 14 ounce

Cost of the package= ​$3.92

Size of the 6.5​-ounce cans = 6.5 × 5 = 32.5 ounce

Cost of the package= ​$9.75

The 6.5​-ounce cans offer the largest size and is the best to buy.

Triangle ABC was dilated and translated to form similar triangle A'B'C'.
Hunter-Best [27]
Dilation refers to a non rigid motion where a figure is transform and its image has the same form but a different size measure.

On this exercise is asked to find the scale factor by which the triangle ABC was 
dilated to produce the triangle A'B'C'. 
Dilation is define by the rule (x,y)-- (kx, ky) where k represents the scale factor.

As can be see on the picture the dilation produce was an enlargement meaning that the image is larger that the preimage.
Of this form you can discard the choices A and B as possible solutions.

Lets try 5/2 as the possible scale factor:
(x,y)-- (kx, ky)
A(0,2)--(5/2(0),5/2(2))=A'(0,5)
B(2,2)--(5/2(2),5/2(2))=B'(5,5)
C(2,0)--(5/2(2),5/2(0))=C'(5,0)

Lets try 5/1 or 5 as the scale factor:
A(0,2)--(5(0),5(2))=A'(0,10)
B(2,2)--(5(2),5(2))=B'(10,10)
C(2,0)--(5(2),5(0))=C'(10,0)

As said at the beginning of the question the triangle was not only dilated.
After a dilation and a translation, the scale factor of the dilation is letter C or 5/2.

Anestetic [448]
If jimmy made a profit of 15% than u would do 15,000 of 15% and that would be 2,250
but that would be Jimmy's profit
Now, what u would do to get how much the boat was sold, than u would do 15,000-2,250 
and the answer will be 12,750

madreJ [45]
The range of a function is representative of the values on the y-axis. In this case, the graph will contain distance on the y-axis at is the dependent variable, while the independent variable is time.

We know that the minimum value of the distance will be 0, given that there can be no negative distance. Moreover, the maximum value is 26.2 miles, since the marathon will then be over. Therefore, a good range for the situation will be 0-27 miles.
