How to do ratios like 2/6 because it is confusing how to do rates because I don't know how to do either

The ratio is the relationship of two numbers. Here is an example, you have 2 apples and 6 bananas. To compare the ratio between the apples and the bananas we create a ratio, so the ratio would be 2 to 6, or 2:6, or 2/6.

A rate is a little different than the ratio, it is a special kind of ratio. That is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like pounds and quarters.

A rope is 72 feet long. What is the length of the rope in yards

Lostsunrise [7]

The answer would be 24 yards. This would be 24 because 3 feet equal one yard so 3/72 is 24 or 24•3.

Write an equation that represents the line.<br> Use exact numbers.<br> (-2,-1)<br> (4,6)

Check the picture below.

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, so let's use those in the picture

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{6})~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{6}-\stackrel{y1}{1}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{4}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{6 -1}{4 +2} \implies \cfrac{ 5 }{ 6 }$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{5}{6}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)})\implies y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}(x+2) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{5}{3}+1\implies y=\cfrac{5}{6}x+\cfrac{8}{3}$

What’s the correct answer

C. 502

All you need to do is multiply the number if sales by the percentage in decimal form. Using DPR I know that 11% is equal to 0.11, so 4,560(0.11) is 501.60. That can be rounded to 502 sales that were shirts.
