Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3
Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
So 9/12 reduces to 3/4
In other words, 9/12 = 3/4
--------------------------------------
Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5
3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20
So 3/4 = 15/20
--------------------------------------
So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.
In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
Answer: Yes
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In order to form a triangle, the sum of two sides must be GREATER than the third side.
a + b > c & a + c > b & b + c > a
5 + 2 > 4 & 5 + 4 > 2 & 4 + 2 > 6
True True True
The sides 5, 2, 4 satisfy the rules for forming a triangle.
Answer:
Which statements about square roots are true? Check all that apply.
The square root of a positive number cannot be negative.
All positive numbers have two square roots.
StartRoot 18 EndRoot= 9 because 9(2) = 18.
StartRoot 49 EndRoot= 7 because 7(7) = 49.
StartRoot 25 EndRoot = 5 because 52= 25.

Solve this problem by setting up a proportion to model the number of boys to the total number of students than the class:
80/100=20/x
Now, cross multiply:
80x=2000
Then, divide 2000 by 80 to solve for x:
x=25
25 is the total number students in the class.
Hope this help
