Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6}{4} =\frac{3}{2} \\$

$\frac{16}{8}=\frac{2}{1}$

$\frac{3}{2}\neq \frac{2}{1}$

Therefore, 6:4 and 16:8 are not equivalent ratios.

If you will multiply 4 by 2 you will get 8 but if you will multiply 6 by 2 you will get 12 which is not equivalent.

You have an aquarium in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base is 4 feet by 3 feet. The height is 2 feet. How many square fe

fiasKO [112]

Since it is about only the outer part of the aquarium which is made of glasses we need to calculate the total surface area.

Surface area of the base = 4*3 = 12 square feet

Surface area of the shorter length of wall = 3*2 = 6 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
6*2 = 12 square feet

Surface area of the longer length of wall = 4*2 = 8 square feet
since it has another wall in opposite side. It has to be multiplied with 2.
8*2 = 16 square feet

Therefore the total surface area that need to be covered with glasses
12+12+16 = 40 square feet
