-- Write both ratios as fractions.

-- Do all the simplifying that's possible, for both fractions.

-- If the ratios are equivalent, then when you get all done

You first write both as fractions and then you multiply the top and the bottom by the opposite number.Write the ratios as fractions. Do all the possible simplifying of both fractions. If the ratios are equal, then both fractions will be identical when you reduce them to simplest form.

you bought 5 chocolate bars and 8 blow pops for $23.25 your sister bought 2 chocolate bars and 13 blow pops for 21.55 how much d

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$2.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let chocolate bar = c and blow pops = b

As per given we have equations below:

5c + 8b = 23.25
2c + 13b = 21.55

13 times the first equation minus 8 times the second to eliminate b and find c:

13(5c + 8b) - 8(2c + 13b) = 13(23.25) - 8(21.55)
65c - 16c = 129.85
49c = 129.85
c = 129.85/49
c = 2.65

Each chocolate bar costs $2.65

What seems to always be true about the height of the triangle?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The height of the triangle is always the measurement of a line (often shown as dashes) that is perpendicular to the base and extends to the opposite angle at the top of the triangle.

If it is a right triangle, and the right angle is at the bottom, the side extending up from the right angle will be the height. But this is not always the case.
