Patel squeezed oranges so that his family could have fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast. He squeezed StartFraction 4 over 17 EndFraction cups from the first orange, StartFraction 3 over 10 EndFraction cups from the second orange, StartFraction 9 over 20 EndFraction cups from the third orange, StartFraction 3 over 11 EndFraction cups from the fourth orange, and StartFraction 7 over 15 EndFraction cups from the fifth orange. Patel estimates that he needs 3 cups of orange juice for his family. About how much more orange juice does he need to reach his estimate? One-sixth cups
Five-sixths cups
1 and two-thirds cups
1 and StartFraction 5 over 6 EndFraction cups

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

answer: the answer is 100 x 12,500, which is 1,250,000.

step-by-step explanation: emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole.  

875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio.  

70 x 12,500 is 875,000.  

set the two equations for y equal to each other. solve for x. this will be the x-coordinate for the point of intersection. use this x-coordinate and plug it into either of the original equations for the lines and solve for y.
