In the united states a person ears more than 40,000 pounds of bread in a lifetime if he or she lives to be 80 years old. does this statement make sense, or is it nonsense? explain.

A reality check quickly reveals that even if "eats" were spelled properly, the statement would still be nonsense.

Step-by-step explanation:

(40,000 pounds / 80 years) = (4,000 pounds / 8 years) = 500 pounds per year

500 pounds of bread per year = an average of a little more than 1-1/3 pound of bread per day, every day of a person's life.  My reality meter says that this is a bit much, especially in the USA.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
