how do you simplify ratios

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Simplifying ratios is just like simplifying fractions. Think of ratios as fractions. You divide a number that both numerator and denominator can be divided by.

Example

5/10 = 1/2

How did we get 1/2? Simple! You divide the numerator and denominator by 5.

5/10÷5/5=1/2

You do the same for ratios but the only difference is instead of putting a fraction bar (/) you put a colon (:)

Let's try another example but with a ratio!

Example

5:10 = 1:2

How did we get 1:2? Simple! Again we divided by 5 just like we did with the fraction example! So really ratios are just like fractions!

5:10÷5:5=1:2

Remember

The fraction bar is /

The ratio bar is :

Ratios are just like fractions but the symbol can sometimes trick people.

One of the two equal sides  S. Both of them  2S. The third side is 2S5. The perimeter is 2S2S5 and that's 23. So 4S5 23, then 4S28, and S7. The third side is 2S5, and that's 9.

Calculate the distance between the points N=(-2, 4) and H=(6, -1) in the coordinate plane. Give an exact answer (not a decimal approximation).​

Answers

Answer:

  √89

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is good for this.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = ((6 -(-2))^2 +(-1-4)^2) = √(64 +25)

  d = √89

The distance between the point is √89 units.

Some friends want to see a movie that is showing at two different theaters in town. They plan to share three tubs of popcorn during the movie.

Movie theatre prices. Theatre A: ticket price 14 dollars 50 cents, popcorn 5 dollars 75 cents. Theatre B: ticket price 13 dollars, popcorn 6 dollars 75 cents.

Answers

Answer:

Let's call x as the number of friends, now, in Theatre A we have:

Price for x tickets = x*$14.50

price for 3 tubs of popcorn = 3*$5.75 = $17.25

Total price:

Pa(x) = $14.50*x + $17.25

Now, for Theatre B we have:

Price for x tickets = $13*x.

Price for 3 tubs of popcorn: = 3*$6.75 = $20.25

Total price:

Pb(x) = $13*x + $20.25.

Now, we can find the number of friends x in such case that they will pay the same in each theater by:

Pa(x) = Pb(x)

$14.50*x + $17.25 = $13*x + $20.25.

Now we solve this for x:

($14.50 - $13)*x = $20.25 - $17.25 = $3

$1.50*x = $3

x = $3/$1.50 = 2.

Then, if there are 2 friends, they will pay the same in both theatres

If there are more tha 2 friends, the cheaper place will be Theatre B, because the slope is smaller, which means that for each additional ticket the total price will increase less.

Answer: Choice A) AB and OC

===========================================================

Explanation:

Parallel lines never cross, so we can rule out choices B, C, and D. These choices all have segments that cross or meet somehow. Segments AB and OC don't intersect, and their extended lines do not appear to intersect either.

---------

We don't really need to use a diagram for this problem even though a diagram is handy. The reason we don't need a diagram is simply look at the letters to see if there's any repeated letters.

For instance, with choice B, the letter O shows up twice. So that must mean the two segments intersect at point O. But we can't have parallel lines intersect, which allows us to rule out choice B. The other answer choices we rule out will follow the same idea.

Only AB and OC have letters that don't show up twice.

Answer:

A) AB and OC

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically, when two lines are parallel, t means they will never touch each other no matter how long they are

for example, these two l‘s are parallel

l l

in this problem, we just have to find the lines that are parallel

finsing the lines are quite easy, just look for the first letter, in this case, A, then find the other lettter, here it is B, and there is your line!

here all the lines are marked in red, whch makes finsing each line easier

What is the value of the bisecting angle, x, marked on this square?

Answers

The four corners of a square are 90 degrees.

They are evenly split by the diagonal lines, so each corner is now two 45 degree angles.

The lines form triangles, which have 3 angles that need to equal 180 degrees.

Two of the angles are 45, so 45 + 45 = 90 degrees.

X = 180 -90 = 90 degrees.

Answer:

1. for the equation 17h+6=40 select the appropriate property of equality to move the constant term to the right side of the equation

Answers

Ok so there are two ways to do this kind of pre-algebra.

I'm going to do it the way I learned it, and the way they teach you in schools.

Ok so you want the variables on one side and the constant term (normal numbers) on the other side (of the equation).

So to do that you have to bring the 6 to the right side.

17h=40+6

Except when you move it to the other side you have to change the sign in front of it.

+ → -

- → +

× → ÷

÷ → ×

In this case, there is an addition sign in front of the 6.

So + → - and the final equation is...

17h=40-6

If you want to do it the way they do it in schools, then you have to remove 6 from both sides (so it will still be equal).

17h+6=40

You have to subtract 6 from (17h+6), which would be 17h.

Then you have to subtract 6 from (40), which would be 40+(-6) or 40-6

The final equation is 17h=40-6

Ok so 40-6=34.

So 17h=34

Divide 34 by 17 or divide each side by 17.

h=34/17 or 2

Given: The ratio of the areas of two similar  parallelograms is 4:9.

To find : The height of the  bigger one if the smaller is of height 4 cm.

Let h be the height of the  bigger one.

Since the areas of similar figures are proportional to the square of their corresponding sides.

Then, [tex]\dfrac{4^2}{h^2}=\dfrac{4}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{16}{h^2}=\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=\dfrac{9}{4}\times16\\\\\Rightarrow\ h^2=36\\\\\Rightarow\ h= 6\ cm\ \ \ \ \text{[ height cannot be negative.]}[/tex]

Help ASAP!!! Savings Account.Christine Chu borrowed $4500 from a bank at a simple interest rate of 2.5% for one year.
a) Determine how much interest Christine paid at the end of 1 year.
b) Determine the total amount Christine will repay the bank at the end of 1 year

Answers

Answer: $112.50 ; $4612.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine how much interest Christine paid at the end of 1 year.

This will be:

Simple interest = PRT/100

where

P = principal = $4500

R = rate = 2.5%

T = time = 1 year

Interest = (4500 × 2.5 × 1)/100

= 11250/100

= $112.50

b) Determine the total amount Christine will repay the bank at the end of 1 year.

Total amount = Principal + Interest

= $4500 + $112.50

= $4612.5

Petra deposits 278.16 in a savings account that earns 2.1% simple interest. What is Petra’s account balance after nine years

Answers

Answer:

The answer is $330.73.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is $330.73.

Step 1. Calculate simple interest: I = ?

Step 2. To get account balance add simple interest to the principal amount:

I + P = ?

Step 1. Calculate simple interest.

I = P * r * t

P - principal

r - rate

t - time period

We have:

P = $278.16

r = 2.1% = 2.1/100 = 0.021

t = 9

I = 278.16 * 0.021 * 9 = 52.57

Step 2. To get account balance add simple interest to the principal amount:

I + P = ?

52.57 + 278.16 = 330.73

Find any real numbers for which the rational expression is undefined. x+8/x-3 select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

What you wrote, x + 8/x - 3 means [tex] x + \dfrac{8}{x} - 3 [/tex].

I assume you didn't mean that, but instead, you mean

[tex] \dfrac{x + 8}{x - 3} [/tex], so I'll use this expression in the problem.

A fraction cannot have zero in the denominator since division by zero is undefined and not allowed. The denominator of the fraction is x - 3.

We need to find which value of x makes the expression x - 3 have a value of zero. Then that is the value of x that must be excluded from the domain.

We set the denominator equal to zero, and we solve for x.

x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides.

x = 3

A value of 3 used for x makes the denominator equal zero, so the real number for which the expression is undefined is

x = 3.

To solve this, we can do some substitution. Substitute the y in the first equation for the 4x in the second:

[tex]3x+y=-21\\3x+(4x)=-21[/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]7x=-21[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7. The left side cancels:

So we determined that x is -3. Now, plug this number back into the second equation:

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{x=-3 \ } \\ \\ \Large \boxed{y=-12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = -21

y = 4x

Substitue y = 4x in the first equation.

3x + 4x = -21

Combine like terms.

7x = -21

Divide both sides by 7.

x = -3

Let x = -3 for the second equation.

y = 4(-3)

Multiply.

y = -12

The solution for the system of equations is x = -3 and y = -12.

=============================================

Explanation:

The domain is the set of allowed x value inputs. We note that the left-most point is when x = -5, and this point has a closed or filled in endpoint, so we're including this x value in the domain.

The left piece has its other endpoint at x = -2, so the interval [tex]-5 \le x \le -2[/tex] is part of the domain. We write that as [tex][-5,-2][/tex]is part of the domain's answer. The other part is [tex][1, 5)[/tex]. We include x = 1 but exclude x = 5 as there's a hole here.

Use the union symbol to glue the two intervals together and we end up with [tex][-5, -2] \cup [1,5)[/tex] as the full domain.

----------------------------

The range is the set of possible y values. The lowest point is when y = -4, but we exclude this endpoint since there's an open hole here. The highest point is when y = 4. The range is [tex]-4 < y \le 4[/tex] which we write as [tex](-4, 4][/tex]

Since there are no gaps in the range, we don't use any union symbols here. Any y value between -4 and 4 is possible, other than y = -4 itself.

These boats traveled successfully on lakes and rivers and were proof that steam could be used to propel boats. Fitchs boats included more traditional elements as well, such as paddle wheels and screw propellers. By blending tried and true methods of propulsion with new technology, Fitch created functioning steam boats. He forfeited his place in American memory due not to any mechanical failings, but to financial ones. His production and operating costs were too high to make steam travel economically feasible. As a result, many people have forgotten his role in the invention of the steamboat. It wasnt until after his death that Robert Fulton created a commercially successful steamboat and became known as the father of steam navigation. Which of the following sentences should be included in a summary of the text? (1 point) A.Fitch's boats cost too much to make.
