Prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32

1 answer:

8 0

Prove that 3:8 is equivalent to 12:32: I'd suggest that you write the ratio 12:32 as1232 and then factor both the 12 and the 32. Write out the factors:1232=(?)(?)(?)(?) and then reduce this last result by cancelling out the common factor.3 x 4 = 12
8 x 4 = 32
It is equivalent. They both multiplied by four the get that ratio.

A young girl found an attractive stone in the woods and sold it to a jeweler for $1. Later, her family discovered that the stone

Liula [17]

Answer: The Jeweler

Step-by-step explanation:

The law states that children are to be considered legally incompetent and as such can't effectively protect their own interests. Since they are legally incompetent to protect their interests, this responsibility now falls on the individual they are dealing with.

The Jeweler is expected to protect the rights of the young girl and as where it is proven that her interests were not properly protected, such contracts can be voided based on this. The Jeweler is also expected to have significant knowledge on the values of jewelries and could properly estimate the value of the stone as at the point the transaction was made. Again the contract can be voided on the grounds of fraud in the inducement. Since he chose not to properly represent the value of the stone to an incompetent party.

Is the relationship between the temperature scales proportional

Marta_Voda [28]

A proportional relationship would look like y=mx (no y-intercept).

The formula for temperature Fahrenheit involves an offset (y-intercept); this is one reason I claim that the relationship in question is NOT proportional.
