Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

A button with a diameter of 6 cm is made from a circular banner. The scale factor of the reduction was 1/6 . What was the diameter of the original banner? Why

Answer 1

36cm

Explanation:

If the current banner is a reduction of 1/6, then you have to expand it by the reciprocal. 6/1 *6 =36.

Answer 2

36 cm.

Explanation:

It is given that A button with a diameter of 6 cm is made from a circular banner. The scale factor of the reduction was 1/6 .

Let
`d` be the diameter of the original banner.

The scale factor of the reduction was 1/6 . It means,

`\text{New diameter}=(1)/(6)* \text{Original diameter}`

`6=(1)/(6)* d`

Multiply both sides by 6.

`36=d`

Hence, the diameter of the original banner is 36 cm.
