Answer:

Multiply it by 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 = 1/2×100% = (1/2×100)% = 50% . . . . . for example

_____

Equivalently, express the ratio with 100 as the denominator.

... 1/2 × 50/50 = 50/100 = 50%

_____

It can be useful to think of "%" as a shorthand way to write "/100".

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the ladder leaning against wall (Hypotenuse) = 20 foot.

Height from where the window is above from the ground (Leg1) = 17 feet.

To find the distance of the bottom of the ladder far from the wall (Leg2) = ?

Now, by using the pythagorean theorem:

$Hypotenuse^{2} = (Leg1)^{2} + (Leg2)^{2}$

$20^{2} =17^{2}+(Leg2) ^{2}$

$400=289+(Leg2)^{2}$

$400-289=(Leg2)^{2}$

$111=(Leg2)^{2}$

by squaring both sides

$Leg2=10.535$

10.535 foot rounded nearest tenth is 10.5 foot.

Therefore, the wall is 10.5 foot far from the bottom of the ladder.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

$\theta_1 \ n\ \theta_2 = 120, 240$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the angles of rotation are not stated.

However, I will list the angles less than 360 degrees that will carry the hexagon and the nonagon onto itself

We have:

$Nonagon = 9\ sides$

$Hexagon = 6\ sides$

Divide 360 degrees by the number of sides in each angle, then find the multiples.

<u>Nonagon</u>

$\theta = \frac{360}{9} =40$

List the multiples of 40

$\theta_1 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320$

<u>Hexagon</u>

$\theta = \frac{360}{6} =60$

List the multiples of 60

$\theta_2 = 60, 120, 180, 240, 300$

List out the common angles

$\theta_1 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320$

$\theta_2 = 60, 120, 180, 240, 300$

$\theta_1 \ n\ \theta_2 = 120, 240$

This means that, only a rotation of $120, 240$ will lift both shapes onto themselves, when applied to both shapes.

The other angles will only work on one of the shapes, but not both at the same time.

Determine whether the representation is proportional.y= -9x

valina [46]

Answer:

Yes it is

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-9x means that for every x value, the y value decreases by 9, so it is proportional because the value of y decreases the same amount each time. For example, if x=1, y=-9. If x=5, y=-45, and so on.
