To write a ratio as a fraction, we simply take the first number in the ratio and make it the numerator while taking the second number in the ratio and making it the denominator.
Because we want the ratio of engines to box cars, our ratio should be:
number of engines/number of box cars
When we substitute in our respective values, we get:
4/18
To simplify this ratio, we have to find the GCF, or greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator, which in this case is 2. To simplify, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, as follows:
4/2 / 18/2
When we simplify, we get:
2/9
Therefore, your answer is 2/9.
Hope this helps!
Answer: 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
2.4 - 1.3 = 1.1
Answer:187.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Actual price $390
After 60% discount price will be 156
And Sales tax is 8% . Then the price of sales tax is $31.2.
156+31.2= $187.2
On the map the ratio is 3cm:4km
The map distance is 24cm
Our overall ratio is 3 : 4
24 : ?
We can find the scale factor by doing 24/3 which is 8. Then do 8 x 4 = 32km
The actual distance is therefore 32km
Answer:
C. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
by deduction, 5 and 7 are prime numbers and 15 is not a multiple of 70, therefore the answer must be 10 as it is a non-prime number and is a factor of 70 (I.e. 10 and 7)
