Answer: The ratios 3:9 and 2:6 are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the unit ratio of 3:9 is 1:3.

To get this you can divide 3/3 and 9/3. This equals 1:3.

I know that 2:6 is equivalent to 3:9 because the unit ratio for 2:6 is also 1:3.

I can find this by dividing 2/2 and 6/2. This equals 1:3.

Therefore, <u>Yes</u> the ratios are equivalent.

____ [38]
<span>At 8in to 250 feet the skyscraper converts to the following. 1.6 in/8 in x 250ft = 50 ft long 2.8in/8in x 250ft = 87.5 ft wide 11.2in/8in x 250ft = 350 ft high You get this because every 8 in is 250 feet so you need to calculate the ratio of scale to that 8in per 250 feet.</span>

Why are the factors in your multiplication sentences in a different order​
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In multiplication, the order doesn't matter.

2 rows of 7 and 7 rows of 2 is the same.

If you have seven 2's, that's the same as two 7's.

See here:

2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14

7 + 7 = 14

Or:

2 * 7 = 7 * 2 = 14

Which algebraic rule describes the translation of ADEF to AD'E'F?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

B: (x, y) --> (x + 4, y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the shape DEF went to the right along the x axis wich <em>increased</em> x and then went down the y axis or <em>decreased </em>y to make D'E'F'

some good way to remember these translations and orders are...
 - x is first when plotting points, then y (x, y)
 - x increases going right, and decreases going left, as well as y increasing going up, then decreasing going down

BONUS FACT:
the symbol ( ' ) is called a prime when refering to transformations and geometry ((as in D' is pronounced D prime))

PLEASE HELP QUICK!!! A bowl has 85 pieces of candy. Nineteen children empty the bowl of candy. Some children take 3 pieces, some
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: 3 kids take 3 pieces of candy each

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of children that took 3 pieces is x ( total take 3*x pieces of candy)

Number of children that took 5 pieces is y ( total take 5*y pieces of candy)

1 child took 1 piece that actually means that x+y=18 and 3*x+5*y=84.

( Because total number of all kids is 19. We just deduct one kid (Let his name is John) who took only 1 candy.  So we have 19-1 =18 kids without John. The similar is with the candies. Total number is 85. We deduct 1 piece which John has taken. )

So we have 2 equations or the system of 2 equations:

1).  x+y=18

2). 3*x +5*y=84

Multuply both sides of equation 1) by 3

We have   3*x+3*y=18*3

Deduct 3*y from both sides of this equation

3*x+3*y-3*y=54-3*y

3*x=54-3*y

Substitute 3*x in equation  2).  by 54-3*y

2) 54-3*y+5*y=84

2*y=30

y=15  ( kids take 5 pieces of candy each)

Using equation 1) find x

x+15=18

x=3 (kids take 3 pieces of candy each)
