What is the difference between part to part ratio and a part to whole ratio ?

Ratios can be part-to-part, part-to-whole,<span> or </span>whole-to-part.<span> Let's take a look at what this means.</span>

When we compare boys to girls in a classroom, we are comparing part of the class to another part of the class. This would be a part-to-part comparison.

When we compare boys to the whole class, this is a <span>part-to-whole </span>comparison.

If we were to compare the class to the girls, this would be whole-to-part comparison.


EXAMPLE: A class is made up of 14 girls and 15 boys. 

PART_TO_PART 14 : 15 shows girls to boys

PART_TO_WHOLE 14: 29 shows girls to the class

Whole-to-Part 29 : 14 shows the class to the girls

Anne is running on a trail at an average speed of 6 miles per hour beginning at mile marker 4. John is running on the trail at t
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

John is running faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Average Speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

Speed of John can be represented in the table below:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c}Time (hours) x & Mile Marker y \\ 0 & 1  \\  0.5 & 4.5  \\   1 & 8  \\ 1.5 & 11.5  \\\end{tabular}\end{center}

To find:

Who is running faster of the both i.e. Anne and John?

Solution:

Here, to find the faster runner we can compare the average speed of both the runners.

We are given that, average speed of Anne = 6 miles per hour

We will have to calculate the average speed of John to find the faster runner.

<em>Average speed</em> can be calculated by dividing the total distance traveled with the total time taken.

Total distance traveled by John = 11.5 - 1 = 10.5 miles

Total time taken by John = 1.5 hours

Average speed of John = \frac{10.5}{1.5} = 7\ miles/hr

Clearly Average speed of John is greater than that of Anne's.

Therefore, <em>John runs faster</em>.

Seth traveled one mile in 57.1 seconds. About how fast does Seth travel in miles per hour?
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>Since we need to convert “miles per second” to “miles per hour,”  we first need to find out how many seconds there are in a hour.
We know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, and if we wanted to do an hour we would have to do 60 * 60 which is 3600 seconds, therefore, 
</span>1 mi/57.1 sec = (1 mi/ 57.1 sec)(3600 sec/1 hour)

                        = (3600/57.1) mi/hours

<span>                        = 63.047 mi/hours</span>

I need help solving quadratics
jolli1 [7]

Quadratic equations are the equations that can be re arranged in the linear or the standard form.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In algebra, a quadratic equation is any condition that can be adjusted in standard structure as where x speaks to an unknown, and a, b, and c speak to known numbers, where a ≠ 0. On the off chance that a = 0, at that point the condition is straight, not quadratic, as there is no term.

Quadratic equations are really utilized in regular day to day existence, as while ascertaining regions, deciding an item's benefit or figuring the speed of an article. Quadratic conditions allude to conditions with in any event one squared variable, with the most standard structure being ax² + bx + c = 0.

A deer and bear stumble across a sleeping skunk. They run away from it in opposite directions- the deer at the speed of 8 feet p
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

12 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 sec distance between the deer and the bear = (8 + 5) = 13 feet.

After x sec distance is 13x.

13x = 156

x= 156/13=12 sec
