Answer:
(a+b)(a-b)
Step-by-step explanation:
because (a+b)(a-b):
If you use FOIL it will work backwards
A baseball player made six hits in nine innings.
Therefore, his ratio of hits to innings, which means his number of hits relative to the number of innings, is 6:9.
However, this isn't simplified. To simplify a ratio, we must find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) of the two terms.
The GCF of 6 and 9 is 3, thus, we divide both of the terms by 3 to get our simplified answer.
6:9 = 6/3 : 9/3 = 2:3
Your answer is that the ratio of hits to innings for the baseball player is 2:3. (This can also be expressed as 2/3 or 2 to 3.)
Hope this helps! :)
The cheap answer is, well, all we do is, grab the denominator of one and multiply the other by it, top and bottom, and grab the denominator of the other, and multiply the first one by that one too, that way, both will have the same denominator, and then you can simply check the numerator to see who's larger, let's do so.
surely you can tell.
Hope this helps have a nice day :)
