Using proportions, it is found that the table is completed as follows:

                         Original Ratio Number in the zoo

Baby camels     5                     20

Adult camels     6                     24

Total camels     11                     44

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

At the zoo, for every 6 adult camels, there are 5 baby camels, hence, out of 11 camels, 5 are baby and 6 are adult.

Thus, out of 44 camels, we have that:

  • 44/11 x 5 = 20, hence there are 20 baby camels.
  • 44/11 x 6 = 24, hence there are 24 adult camels.

The table is:

                         Original Ratio Number in the zoo

Baby camels     5                     20

Adult camels     6                     24

Total camels     11                     44

Can someone explain?
natita [175]

Explanation:

<u>Statement 2</u>:

  Angle J is congruent to itself

<u>Reason 2</u>:

  Reflexive property of congruence

__

<u>Statement 3</u>:

  ΔHIJ ~ ΔGHJ

<u>Reason 3</u>:

  SAS similarity theorem

_____

The sides given as proportional (having the same ratio) are corresponding sides in the two triangles. The first pair of sides (HJ, GJ) are named by the first and last letters of the triangle names, so correspond. The second pair of sides (IJ, HJ) are named by the last two letters of the triangle names, so correspond.

The angle between these corresponding sides is the one at the vertex whose name is the point shared by the sides. In the first triangle, the two sides of interest are HJ and IJ, which share the point at J. Thus angle J is the angle between these two sides. In the second triangle, the two sides of interest are GJ and HJ, which share the point at J. Hence angle J is the angle between these two sides, also.

So, we have corresponding sides that are proportional and the angle between them that is congruent (to itself). This allows us to invoke the SAS theorem for triangle similarity.

in cooking 1 drop equals 1/6 of dash . if a recipe calls for 2/3 of a dash , how many drops would that be?
Aleks [24]
1 / (1/6) = x / (2/3)...1 drop to 1/6 dash = x drops to 2/3 dash
cross multiply
(1/6)(x) = (1)(2/3)
1/6x = 2/3
x = 2/3 * 6
x = 12/3 = 4 drops <==
