Answer:
d. 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ratio will be the ratio of any two adjacent terms:
(3/12)/(3/3) = (1/4)/1 = 1/4
She should purchase 6 boxes of cookies. That would give her 72 cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
= mass of the painter
= mass of the scaffold
= mass of the equipment
= tension in the cables
In order for this scaffold to remain in equilibrium, the net force and torque on it must be zero. The net force acting on the scaffold can be written as

Set this aside and let's look at the net torque on the scaffold. Assume the counterclockwise direction to be the positive direction for the rotation. The pivot point is chosen so that one of the unknown quantities is eliminated. Let's choose our pivot point to be the location of
. The net torque on the scaffold is then

Solving for T,

or
![T = \frac{1}{9}[m_sg(1.9\:\text{m}) + m_pg(4.2\:\text{m})]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=T%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B9%7D%5Bm_sg%281.9%5C%3A%5Ctext%7Bm%7D%29%20%2B%20m_pg%284.2%5C%3A%5Ctext%7Bm%7D%29%5D)

To solve for the the mass of the equipment
, use the value for T into Eqn(1):

I think A I'm not sure tho..I had something similar to this. <span />
They are = because both can be reduced to 9/17
Also their cross products are equal 27 x 34 = 18 x 51 - Both equal 918 so both fractions are equal to each other.
