Say you have the fraction 1/2 to the power of 2, so 1/2^2. You could also write this down as: 1/2*(times)1/2 or 0,5*0,5. Whenever you multiply by a number smaller than one, the outcome will get smaller. Whenever you multiply by a number larger than one, the outcome will be larger.

Victor has saved $89.25 for the bicycle that he wants. The bicycle costs $129.85. Victor
fenix001 [56]

Answer: No, the equation is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Victor has saved $89.25 for a bicycle that costs $129.85. To get the remaining amount that is needed to complete the bicycle, we subtract the amount saved by Victor from the total amount. This will be:

= $129.85 - $89.25

= $40.6

The amount remaining is $40.6

The equation written by Victor is

= $89.25 + $129.85

= $219.1

The equation written by Victor is not correct. The correct equation is:

= $129.85 - $89.25 = $40.6

So we see the ratio of the sides of two similar octagons is 2:5 so let's say the first octagon has a side of 2 and the other has a side of 5. 2*8 = 16 and 5*8 = 40. 16:40 = 4:10 = and is again 2:5. So the answer is 2:5.
