Example: For every 3 boys, there are 4 girls.
Ratio: 3:4 also 3/4
How to use it?
Example question: If there are 3 boys for every 4 girls and there are 27 boys in the class, how many girls are there?
How to set up the ratio:
3 27
— = —
4 x
Solve it?
[Cross Multiply]
3x= 108
[Divide]
X= 36
How to check it?
Reduce 27/36 and see if it equals 3/4
OR
Plug both into the calculator and both should come out with the same decimal. In this case it is 0.75
Answer:
i think it's 15 because if you use 5 and you have to do it by 3 it should be 15
Answer:
12.124355653
Step-by-step explanation:
don't know if you need to round but square root of 108 is 10.3923048454 and square root of 3 is 1.73205080757
Answer:
13.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric sequence of arc lengths can be described by ...
f(n) = a·b^n
We have (n, f(n)) = (3, 20) and (7, 12). Using these values, we can find the common ratio (b):
20 = a·b^3
12 = a·b^7
Then ...
12/20 = (a·b^7)/(a·b^3) = b^4 = 3/5
We want the 6th term, which we can get from the 7th term by multiplying by b^-1.
b^(-1) = (b^4)^(-1/4) = (3/5)^(-1/4) = √(√(5/3)) ≈ 1.13622
Then the 6th swing had an arc length of ...
f(6) = f(7)·b^-1
f(6) = (12 ft)(1.13622) ≈ 13.63 ft ≈ 13.6 ft
Answer:
2 real solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
a=-10, b=-4, c=2
(-4)^2-4x(-10)x2=96
