A quality-assurance worker wants to systematically sample 120 glass jars each day from a conveyor belt in a factory that puts out 3,600 jars each day. If the worker will select every kth jar, what is the best value of k for the worker to use? Enter a whole number.

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
