6 0

Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: We can rewrite the ratio 6 out of 9 as the fraction 6/9 by putting 6 in the position of the numerator and 9 in the position of the denominator.

Notice however, 6/9 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 9 which is 3 to get the equivalent fraction 2/3.

Therefore, the ratio 6 out of 9 can be rewritten as the fraction 2/3.

Answer:

A. 99 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of geometric shape

= 2 times the area of one triangle with base a and height c

+ 2 times the area of one triangle with base c and height b

+ Area of rectangle with dimensions a and c.

$= 2 \times \frac{1}{2} ac + 2 \times \frac{1}{2} bc + ac \\ \\ = ac + bc + ac \\ \\ = 2ac + bc \\ \\ = 2(13)(3) + 7(3) \\ \\ = 78 + 21 \\ \\ = 99 \: sq \: cm$
