Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

N is the total number of students

M is the number of students thta like math

S is the number of students that like science.

We know that half of the elements in M also are elements from S

And a third of the elements of S also are elements of M

And because those elements are common elements for both sets, we should have that:

M/2 = S/3

then we have that:

M = (2/3)*S

The ratio is 2/3

this means that the number of students that like math is 2/3 times the number of students that like science.

4. Ashley claims that if she triples the side length of a square (s), the area of the square will also be tripled. Do you agree?
stepladder [879]

<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

Let the side of the square measure a cm, thus, according to the question,

  • New length = 3(a cm)

We know that,

➭ Area ( Square ) = a²

Thus, the area of the square with normal length i.e. a cm, will be,

⤳ Area = a x a

⤳ Area = a²

Now, by taking the new length, the area will become,

⤳Area = 3a x 3a

⤳ Area = 9a²

Now,

We observe that, if we divide these, we get,

➤ 9a²/a²

( a² will get canceled since its common )

Thus, the ratio becomes,

➭ 9 : 1 = Area square with tripled length : Area of square

Thus, the area will increase by 9 times, and not 3.

Hence, Ashley's assumptions are wrong.

She decides to change the length of the top of the top of the trapezoid shaped garden from 32 to 24 ft. Which expression finds t
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

<h3>The change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Sienna planned a trapezoid-shaped garden.

And She decides to change the length of the top of the trapezoid-shaped garden from 32 ft to 24 ft.

Let Old length of the top be 32 ft

Let New length of the top be 24 ft

Scale factor =\frac{New length}{old length}

Scale factor = \frac{24}{32}

=\frac{3}{4} ft

<h3>∴ the change in the scale factor is \frac{3}{4} ft</h3>
