Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common ratio, you compare a few pairs of consecutive terms, by dividing an element by its predecessor.
12 / 72 = 1/6
2 / 12 = 1 / 6
1/3 / 2 = 1 / 6
The ratio is constant... so that's your common ratio to go from one term to the next.
To go from one term to the next, you have to multiply by 1/6.
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: A = 10 for one person. B = 7.5 for one person. C = 6.67 for one person. D = 8.75 for one person. E = 10 for one person.
Out of all of these, C is the cheapest.
