This means that if b doubles, then a will become half as large. For the inverse of the ratio 2 to 1 ("doubles") is the ratio 1 to 2 ("half"). The terms are exchanged; the inverse of the ratio a : b is the ratio b : a. When a varies inversely as b, we say that a is inversely proportional to b.

One stack has 6 cups, and its height is 15 cm. The other one has 12 cups, and its height is 23 cm. How many cups are needed for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Given

Number of stacks = 2

Stack 1 = 6 cups; h1 = 15cm

Stack 2 = 12 cups; h2 = 23cm

Let's first find the average:

With an average of 4/3, to obtain the number of cups needed to obtain a height of 50m, we have:

50 / (4/3)

= 50 * 3/4

= 150/4

= 37.5

From the answer, we can see that the number of cups is not really proportional to the height of the stack, because the average of stack one and stack 2 are different.

HDTV screens usually have a width-to -height ratio of 16:9. Which screen dimensions are in the same proportion?
love history [14]

Answer:

4 feet by 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

width-to -height ratio of 16:9

Let analyse all possible answers:

  • 4 feet by 3 feet

16 divided by 4 is the same as 9 divided by 3 => it is true

  • 28 inches by 21 inches

16 divided by 28 is different as 9 divided by 21 => it is wrong

  • 48 centimeters by 27 centimeters

16 divided by 48 is different as 9 divided by 27 => it is wrong

  • 26 inches by 19 inches

16 divided by 26 is different as 9 divided by 219=> it is wrong

We choose A.

Hope it will find you well.
