The lowest form of the ratio 16:20 is 4:5.

Firstly, we have to find the common factors of 16 and 20,

The factors of 16 and 20 are,

16 = 4 × 4

20 = 4 × 5

Hence, the common factor between 16 and 20 is 4.

To find the lowest form of the ratio, we will divide both 16 and 20 by 4

The ratio can be written as 16/20

= 16 ÷ 4

= 4

= 20 ÷ 4

= 5

= 4:5.

Therefore, the simplest form of the ratio 16:20 is 4:5.

ANSWER

4 : 5

EXPLANATION

We have the ratio 16 : 20 and we want to reduce it to lowest form.

This means that we have to factor out any number that is common between the two numbers in the ratio.

We have:

$\begin{gathered} 16\text{ : 20 = }\frac{16}{20} \\ \text{Divide both numerator and denominator by 4:} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ }\frac{4}{5}\text{ = 4 : 5} \end{gathered}$

The lowest form of the ratio is 4 : 5

Answer:

$r=\frac{9\cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation in rectangular coordinates is;

$y^2=9x$

We use the relation;

$x=r\cos \theta$

and

$y=r \sin \theta$

This implies that;

$(r \sin \theta)^2=9(r \cos \theta)$

$r^2 \sin^2 \theta=9r \cos \theta$

Divide through by r to get;

$r \sin^2 \theta=9\cos \theta$

Divide both sides by $\sin^2 \theta$

$r=\frac{9\cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}$

Find the sum of the first 9 terms of the sequence. Show all work for full credit.

Kamila [148]

We can see the sequence goes by decreasing 9 on each number

so the numbers are

2, -7, -16, -25, -34, -43, -52, -61, -70

so adding all these numbers we get

2-7-16-25-34-43-52-61-70

= -306

hope this helped

Jasmine has 4 glass ornanents:green,orange,brown,and purple.How many ways can she hang them in a row so that the green and brown

tino4ka555 [31]

The best way to solve this is by giving a visual idea of the glass ornaments. so We will have letter G represent Green, O for Orange, B for Brown, P for Purple.
Sample 1:G,O,B,P
Sample 2:G,P,O,B
Sample 3:P,G,O,B
Sample 4:O,G,P,B
Sample 5:G,O,P,B
This is what you can do this should be the right amount of ways to arrange them.
