Why would it be be appropriate to express a ratio of 7 to 9 but not a ratio 7 to 14?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A 7:9 ratio is simplified as much as it can.

While a 7:14 ratio can be reduced to 1:2.

Answer 2

Answer:

A ratio of 7:14 reduces to 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio of 7:9 cannot be reduced because both 7 and 9 are prime and only divisible by 1. The ratio 7:14 has a common divisor of 7 so it reduces to 1:2

What are the properties of similar polygon?

Two polygons are said to be similar or congruent pentagon-

The corresponding angle of two pentagons are congruent.The ratio of corresponding sides is same for all the sides.

Given information-

In the given figure,

[tex]\Delta ABC\cong \Delta AVW[/tex]

As for the similar triangle the ratios of corresponding sides is same for all the sides. Hence,

[tex]\dfrac{AB}{AV} =\dfrac{BC}{VW} =\dfrac{AC}{AW}[/tex]

Take two ratios to find [tex]x[/tex],

[tex]\dfrac{BC}{VW} =\dfrac{AC}{AW}[/tex]

Put the values,

[tex]\dfrac{16}{10} =\dfrac{28}{x}\\16x=280\\x=\dfrac{280}{16} \\x=17.5[/tex]

Take another two ratios to find [tex]y[/tex],

[tex]\dfrac{BC}{VW} =\dfrac{AB}{AV}[/tex]

Put the values,

[tex]\dfrac{16}{10} =\dfrac{y}{12}\\16\times12=10y\\y=\dfrac{192}{10} \\y=19.2[/tex]

Hence, the value [tex]x[/tex] is 17.5 units and value of [tex]y[/tex] is 19.2 units.

2. in a class of 50 students, the number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males. How many males and females are there in the class?

Answers

Answer:

There are 8 males in the class and 42 females.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of females.

y is the number of males.

Class of 50 students

This means that [tex]x + y = 50[/tex]

The number of females is 2 more than 5 times the number of males.

This means that [tex]x = 5y + 2[/tex]

So, finding y, the number of males:

[tex]x + y = 50[/tex]

[tex]5y + 2 + y = 50[/tex]

[tex]6y = 48[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{48}{6}[/tex]

[tex]y = 8[/tex]

Females:

[tex]x = 5y + 2 = 5*8 + 2 = 42[/tex]

There are 8 males in the class and 42 females.

if you start from 0, how many steps do you have to take to get to -3. what does the number of steps represent​

Answers

Answer:

3 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst of all, if you think about it, we can just say -3 as 3 ( even though they are not equal, were just counting steps.)

On a number line, negative numbers are on the left of 0 and positive on the right of 0.

So, lets say the middle number is 0 on our number line. -3 is 3 steps to the left. We take 1 step to negative 1, another step to -2, and then a 3rd and final step to -3.

The steps represent how far the number is from 0. FIr example, we have to add 3 to -3 to get to 0, like how we add 7 to 0 to get 7!

Hope this helps!

Answer:

If you start at 0, you would have to take 3 steps back or -3 steps.

The number of steps represent the positive and negative numbers on the number line.

The aquarium has 198 guppies, angelfish and catfish altogether.
There are 4 times as many guppies as angelfish. There are 6 more
angelfish than catfish.
How many catfish are there?​

Answers

Answer:

Number of catfish = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of catfish = c

Number of angle fish = c + 6

Number of guppies = 4*(c + 6) = 4c + 4*6 = 4c + 24

Total fishes = 198

c + c + 6 + 4c + 24 = 198           {Combine like terms}

c + c +4c + 6 + 24 = 198

                6c + 30 = 198              {Subtract 30 from both sides}

                     6c    = 198 - 30

                     6c   = 168

                       c = 168/6           {Divide both sides by 6}

                       c = 28
