Answer:

2/3 : 3/2 = 4 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

LCD(2/3, 3/2) = 6

2/3 : 3/2 = 4/6 : 9/6

Our two fractions now have like denominators so we can multiply both by 6 to eliminate the denominators.

2/3 : 3/2 = 4 : 9

The GCF of 4 and 9 is 1

Divide both terms by the GCF, 1:

4 ÷ 1 = 4

9 ÷ 1 = 9

The ratio 4 : 9 cannot be reduced further by dividing both terms by the GCF = 1 :

Therefore:

2/3 : 3/2 = 4 : 9

gladu [14]

Answer: The right answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the expression

T1; a = 0.3 ------------ (I)

T8; ar^7 = 38.4 ------------ (ii)

Substituting for 'a' in the second equation, we have;

0.3r^7 = 38.4

Divide both sides by 0.3

r^7 = 38.4/0.3

r^7 = 128

r = (128)^1/7

r = 2

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups. Use a ratio table to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

You buy milk that contains 180 calories per 2 cups.

Now, to find the number of calories in 5.5 cups.

Let the number of calories in 5.5 cups be $x.$

As, in 2 cups there are 180 calories.

2 cups is equivalent to 180 calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $2:180.$

So, in 5.5 cups there are $x$ calories.

5.5 cups is equivalent to $x$ calories.

Thus, the ratio would be $5.5:x.$

Now, we set proportion to get the number of calories in 5.5 cups:

$2:180::5.5:x$

$\frac{2}{180} =\frac{5.5}{x}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$2x=990$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

$x=495$ .

Therefore, the number of calories in 5.5 cups are 495.
