Takala put 9 marbles in the box, jackie put in 7, and laird put in 11. then they divided the marbles evenly among themselves. how many did each person get?

The correct answer is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Takala put 9 marbles in the box, jackie put in 7, and laird put in 11.

Before continuing, the most convenient is to add these three things:

9 + 7 + 11 = 27.

We now know that those 27 were divided equally to each other, that is 27: 3.

So we just have to divide:

27: 3 = 9

In this way we can verify that each person obtained 9.

step-by-step explanation:

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
