Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if 2.5, sqrt(18), and 5 make up the sides of a right triangle, then they must satisfy A^2+B^2=C^2, where C is the longer side (hypotenuse).

In this case, 5 is the greater of the 3, so let's see if it satisfies our equation:

2.5^2+sqrt(18)^2=5^2

-> 6.25+18 = 24.25 =/= 25

-> Therefore the answer is a resounding no.

A cleaner recommends mixing 1 1/2 cup of cleaner for every 12 cups of water. What is the ratio of cleaner to water.

Anna007 [38]

Answer: $\frac{1}{8}$ or $1:8$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you can convert the mixed number $1\ \frac{1}{2}$ into a decimal number. To do this, you need to divide the numerator (which is 1) by the denominator (which is 2) of the fraction:

$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Now you must add 0.5 to the whole number part. Then:

$1+0.5=1.5$

In order to find the ratio of cleaner to water, you must divide 1.5 cups of cleaner by 12 cups of water.

Therefore, the ratio is:

$ratio=\frac{1.5}{12}=\frac{1}{8}$ or $1:8$
