Vicky's Post Question 16

Heather used a copier to make the following 50% reduction.
(I CANNOT PROVIDE A PICTURE, MYTEXTBOOK DOES NOT WORK)
a) Write the ratio of the length A'B' compared to the length of AB.
The ratio of the length of A'B' compared to the length of AB is 1:2
b)Write the ratio of the length of A'C' compared to the length of AC
The ratio is also 1:2
c)Use your knowledge of ratio and percent to explain the meaning of a 50% reduction.
50% reduction (ratio) is like 2:4 that is reduced by a half / 1:2. In percent it is like 100% turned into 50%
