What is the difference between rates and proportions???

Mathematics
1 answer:
frez [133]3 years ago
6 0
A rate often involves time:  e. g., 33 feet per second; also, we are finding the ratio of one type of measurement with respect to another:  distance and time.

A proportion is often the ratio of different measures of the same thing:

e. g.   5 apples
          ------------
           7 apples

If 2 - 3i is a solution to the equation x3 - 3x2 + 9x + 13 = 0, what are the other roots of the equation?
OLga [1]
The complex solutions come in pairs and the only difference between them is the sign between the real and imaginary part, so one of the other two solutions is 2+3i. The third solution can be easily found using the rational root theorem, and it's equal to -1.

Write out the following proportions in words. a. 7 :28 = 2 : 8 b. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6 c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16 d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5
Lerok [7]
1) Proportion a.

7 : 28 = 2 : 8

That means that the ratio 7 / 28 is equal to the ratio 2 : 8. 

You can verify the equality by simplifying to the simplest form:

     7 : 28 = 1 / 4 simplest form
     2 : 8 = 1 / 4 simplest form, then the proportion is right.

In words that is 7 is to 28 as 1 is to 4 ← answer


2) Proportion b.<span>. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 3 is to q as 18 is to 6 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>You can verify the proportion by simplifiying the second fraction:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     18 / 6 = [18 / 6] / [ 6 / 6] = 3 / 1
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>3) Proportion c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 9 is to 72 as 2 is to 16 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Proove the proportion:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     9 / 72 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>     2 / 16 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>4) Proportion d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5</span>

In words: 81 is to 9 as 45 is to 5 ← answer


Proove it: 
      81 / 9 = 9
      45 / 9 = 9

What equation represents the model shown below?
g100num [7]

Given:

The algebra tiles of an equation.

To find:

The equation represented by the given model.

Solution:

On the left side of the model we have 4 tiles of (-x) and 3 tiles of (-1). So,

LHS=(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-x)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

LHS=-4x+(-3)

LHS=-4x-3

On the right side of the model we have 8 tiles of (-1). So,

RHS=(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)+(-1)

RHS=-8

Now, equate the LHS and RHS to get the equation.

-4x-3=-8

Therefore, the equation for the given model is -4x-3=-8.
