Write each ratio statement as a fraction and reduce to lowest terms if possible:

Mathematics

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}

Consider a uniform distribution from aequals4 to bequals29. ​(a) Find the probability that x lies between 7 and 27. ​(b) Find th
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a) 80% probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

b) 28% probability that x lies between 6 and 13.

c) 44% probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

d) 28% probability that x lies between 11 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value x between c and d, in which d is larger than c, is given by the following formula.

P(c \leq x \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

Uniform distribution from a = 4 to b = 29

(a) Find the probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

So c = 7, d = 27

P(7 \leq x \leq 27) = \frac{27 - 7}{29 - 4} = 0.8

80% probability that x lies between 7 and 27.

​(b) Find the probability that x lies between 6 and 13. ​

So c = 6, d = 13

P(6 \leq x \leq 13) = \frac{13 - 6}{29 - 4} = 0.28

28% probability that x lies between 6 and 13.

(c) Find the probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

​So c = 9, d = 20

P(9 \leq x \leq 20) = \frac{20 - 9}{29 - 4} = 0.44

44% probability that x lies between 9 and 20.

(d) Find the probability that x lies between 11 and 18.

So c = 11, d = 18

P(11 \leq x \leq 18) = \frac{18 - 11}{29 - 4} = 0.28

28% probability that x lies between 11 and 18.

The two triangles shown below are simiar. Which statement is true of the transformation from ABC to A' B' C'
AfilCa [17]

Answer: Thus when transforming from ABC to A'B'C', the lengths are scaled by a factor of 0.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of their sides are equal.

And we can count the number of blocks over which AC and A'C' is drawn and take them to be their length,

Therefore,

AC = 16

A'C'= 8

Thus when transforming from ABC to A'B'C', the lengths are scaled by a factor of 0.5 .

Measuring the tans of the angles by taking the ratio of opposite by adjacent, we get,

tanA = \frac{10}{4}

tanA'=\frac{5}{2}

which means tanA= tanA'

The angles do not change.

Thus when transforming from ABC to A'B'C', the lengths are scaled by a factor of 0.5 .
