2. Describe the means-extremes property.

Mathematics
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]4 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

Ex: 2:3 :: 6:9

In this question, the means are 3 and 6.

The extremes are 2 and 9.

We use this method to find whether the two ratios are equal or not.

We multiply the means and the extremes, and if there products are same, then these two ratios are proportional.

If these two ratios are proportional, their "means" = "extremes"

=> Means = Extremes

=> 3 x 6 = 2 x 9

=> 18 = 18

So, these two ratios are proportional.

Hope this helps you.

Santino bought a book for $23.54. The price of the book was $22. What was the sales-tax rate?
Vika [28.1K]

We first find value of tax in dollars.

The difference between the two prices  is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

Therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

The tax % will be  (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100 → (0.07) × 100 =  7

So the tax rate is 7%

We can double check the answer.

7 % of 22  → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54

Explain one thing you need to be careful with when writing a proportion.
ehidna [41]

For this case, we have that by definition, the proportions can be expressed in different ways. Example, if we have a dog and three cats:

75%: It's percentage

0.75: In decimal (75% are cats)

\frac {3} {4}: In fraction. (There are \frac {3} {4} of cats)

3: 1: Using ":" to separate sample values. (For every three cats there is a dog)

Care should be taken with the proportions, always multiplying the numbers in the proportion by the same value.

Example:3: 1 = 3 * 2: 1 * 2 = 6: 2

Answer:

Care should be taken with the proportions, always multiplying the numbers in the proportion by the same value.
