Which ratio is higher 15:20 or 12:16. for 35 points

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]4 years ago
8 0

To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = \frac{15}{20}, and

12:16 = \frac{12}{16}

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}.

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of \frac{3}{4}. Since \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{4}, these ratios are the same.

Can you find the angle CDE​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

∠CDE = 14°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since CE is extended to point F then ∠FED is an external angle of the triangle

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is

∠FED = ∠ECD + ∠CDE ← substitute values

4x + 5 = x + 8 + x + 9, that is

4x + 5 = 2x + 17 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

Hence

∠CDE = x + 8 = 6 + 8 = 14°
