Scaling is when you multiply or divide two quantities by the same number.
It is called algebra. When two quantities are related as long as you do the same operation to both (add, subtract, multiply, or divide) you do not change the relation
It is either two quantities that are larger or smaller than the ones that you started with, depending on whether the number that you multiplied or divided by was greater than or less than 1.Multiply by a number greater than 1 : both larger.Multiply by a number less than 1 : both smaller.Divide by a number greater than 1 : both smaller.Divide by a number less than 1 : both larger.
The number you divide into is called the divisor.
The inverse or opposite of the operation of multiply is divide. So the inverse operation of multiply by 24 would be to divide by 24 or multiply by the inverse of the number (1/24).
Divide that number by 5 or Multiply it by 0.2
You multiply or divide the first quantity by the number and then you do the same for the other quantity.
Squaring for multiplying, and if you are dividing by the same number, you get 1
It is called algebra. When two quantities are related as long as you do the same operation to both (add, subtract, multiply, or divide) you do not change the relation
It will give you a perfect square.
If the quantities are related linearly, then the operation would mean SCALING Otherwise it is just operations on the two quantities by a constant
Yes, it is; except that the chosen number cannot be zero.
Re-scaling or (for selected vales of the same number) normalising.
product
If you have a number of square feet, divide it by 43,560 or multiply it by 0.00002296 to get the number of acres.If you have a number of acres, multiply it by 43,560 or divide it by 0.00002296 to get the number of square feet.
every number does that
Multiply the number by 0.17. or Multiply it by 17 and then divide by 100.
The size of the quantities involved doesn't matter. As long as you add or subtract (or divide or multiply) the same number to or from both sides of the equation, then the two sides remain equal.
