42 - 6 = 36 - 1
36 - 6 = 30 - 2
30 - 6 = 24 - 3
24 - 6 = 18 - 4
18 - 6 = 12 - 5
12 - 6 = 6 - 6
6 - 6 = 0 - 7
42/6 = 7
Answers:
1.) 18 lemons
2.) 80 minutes
Explanation:
Porportions are a lot like fractions. For the first question, you can make the fraction 6/8, or 3/4 simplified. This means that for every 8 cups of water, you need 6 lemons.
Then, to find the amount of lemons you need if you have 24 cups of water, you need to think about what×8= 24. If we divide 24 by 8, we get 3, so if we multiply our fraction by 3/3, we should get the answer.
If we do 6/8 × 3/3, we get 18/24. This means that we need 18 lemons if we were to use 24 cups of water.
For the next question, our fraction 15/60, for 15 cakes baked in 60 minutes. Now we need to divide 20 cakes by 15.
This question is a little different from the first one because there will be a decimal involved. If we do 20/15, we get 1⅓. This means that this time, we will multiply 15/60 by (1⅓)/(1⅓).
If we multiply 60 by 1⅓, we get 80, which is the number of minutes needed to bake 20 cakes.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of areas of similar figures is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. That means the ratio of linear dimensions is the square root of the area ratio. The ratio of the smaller triangle dimensions to the larger is then ...
k = √((8 cm^2)/(18 cm^2)) = √(4/9) = 2/3
Then the corresponding side of the smaller triangle is ...
... k · (4.5 cm) = (2/3)·(4.5 cm) = 3 cm
The answer is C.2 that is the answer
