Answer:

Values are switched, ratio should be 16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's ratios are wrong because the values in the right side of the equality are switched, the proposed equality is:

\frac{4\ oranges}{6\ ounces}=\frac{24\ oranges}{16\ ounces}

To find the correct ratio, simply multiply the number of oranges and number of fluid ounces by 4. The correct equality should be:

\frac{4\ oranges}{6\ ounces}=\frac{16\ oranges}{24\ ounces}

The ratio should be 16/24

sample explanation:

The second ratio in the proportion is set up as ounces over oranges. The units should be in the same place in the proportion as the first ratio.

Which special case is represented by x? - 121?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

A. the difference of two squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use the symbol " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.

Then we have x^2 - 11^2, which is the difference of two squares:

x^2 is a square, the square of x; and 11^2 is a square, the square of 11.

A. the difference of two squares

Note that a "difference of squares" is easily factored:

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

and so your x² - 11² factors as follows:  (x - 11)(x + 11)

Simplify the following expression below:
IrinaK [193]
So, 4/3 - 2i

4/3 - 2i = 12/13 + i8/13

multiply by the conjugate: 
3 + 2i/3 + 2i
= 4(3 + 2i)/(3 - 2i) (3 + 2i)
(3 - 2i) (3 + 2i) = 13

(3 - 2i) (3 + 2i)

apply complex arithmetic rule: (a + bi) (a - bi) = a^2 + b^2
a = 3, b =  - 2
= 3^2 + (- 2)^2

refine: = 13
= 4(3 + 2i)/13

distribute parentheses:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a = 4, b = 3, c = 2i
= 4(3) + 4(2i)

Simplify:
4(3) + 4(2i)
12    +    8i


4(3) + 4(2i)
Multiply the numbers: 4(3) = 12
= 12 + 2(4i)

Multiply the numbers: 4(2) = 8
= 12 + 8i


   12 + 8i
= 12 + 8i/13

Group the real par, and the imaginary part of the complex numbers:


Your answer is: 12/13 + 8i/13

The scale factor from a small triangle ABC to a large triangle XYZ is 5. How many times larger will the perimeter of triangle XY
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Answer below :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Question 4 - the answer will be 5. Since the scale factor is 5, we would (hypothetically) multiply the area by 5 to get the new area of XYZ, so area XYZ is 5 times the area of ABC.

Question 5 - A.

First we multiply 45 by 12 to find the amount in inches. This is 540. Now, we divide that by 6 to get 90. This is our scale factor in inches, but the answers only show the scale in feet, so we have to convert. Divide 90 by 12 to get 7.5.

I hope this helps!
