qwelly [4]3 years ago

The answers are:

18 to 24 =  \frac{18}{24} = \frac{3}{4}

5 to 15 =  \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3}

14:42 =  \frac{14}{42} = \frac{1}{3}

15 cents to 18 cents = \frac{15}{18}  = \frac{5}{6}

Explanation:

To write a fraction using a ratio, simply use the first number as the numerator (top number), in this case, the numbers 18, 5, 14, and 15, and the second or biggest number as a denominator (bottom number), in this case, the numbers 24, 15, 42 and 18. This means the fractions are  \frac{18}{24},  \frac{5}{15}, \frac{14}{42} , and  \frac{15}{18}.

The second step is to reduce or simplify the fractions, which means the numbers in a fraction are divided by the same factor (a number that divides another without a remainder). Additionally, to do this, it is important to reduce the fraction to its minimum.

\frac{18}{24} divide this by 6, which is equivalent to \frac{3}{4}

\frac{5}{15} divide this by 5, which is equivalent to \frac{1}{3}

\frac{14}{42} divide this by 14. which is equivalent to \frac{1}{3}

\frac{15}{18} divide this by 3, which is equivalent to \frac{5}{6}

My homework says, "Does the graph represent a proportional relationship? Why or why not? You MUST explain to get credit."
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

No, the graph does not represent a proportional relationship. It is a straight line, but it does not intersect the point (0, 0). ... It's not proportional because the line does not cross through the origin. Therefore the ratio of x to y will be different for two different points on the line.
