B beacuse it’s 173 thanks very much
Answer:
4:8
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1 from the 1:2 is being multiplied by 4 for the 4:_, so the 2 from the 1:2 must also be multiplied by 4. 4 x 2 = 8
Step-by-step Answer:
AN is height, so A is perpendicular to BC. (See image attached).
BN = 18
AN = 24
AC = 40
All as labeled.
ABN is a right triangle, with AB = sqrt(18^2+24^2)=sqrt(324+576)=30
ACN is a right triangle, with CN = sqrt(40^2-24^2)=sqrt(1600-576) = 32
=>
BC = BN + NC = 18 + 32 = 50
The product is less than either of the factors. Multiplying a number < 1 with 2/3 another number < 1, will give a fraction of a fraction, and part of a fraction is an even smaller fraction. Another way of looking at it: Fractions less than one have numerators smaller than their denominators. When multiplying fractions, you multiply across, so multiplying two fractions that are both less than one will always give a numerator much smaller than the denominator, and a larger denominator makes for a smaller number. I hope this helps, but if you have questions, ask.
