Answer:

ratio: 104:1875

Step-by-step explanation:

toy jeep = 12.5 inches

12.5 inches = 1.04 feet

real jeep = 18.75 feet

1.04 / 18.75 = 0.055

104:1875

How to find the ratio:

1) Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.

12 1/2 = 25/2

18 3/4 = 75/4

We now have:

12 1/2 : 18 3/4 = 25/2 : 75/4

2) Convert fractions to whole numbers by eliminating the denominator.

LCD (least common denominator)(25/2, 75/4) = 4

We now have:

12 1/2 : 18 3/4 = 50/4 : 75/4

Now that the fractions have similar denominators, we can multiply both by 4 to eliminate the denominators.

Now we have 12 1/2 : 18 3/4 = 50 : 75

3) We can now reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 50 and 75 is 25

Divide both terms by the GCF, 25:

50 ÷ 25 = 2

75 ÷ 25 = 3

50 : 75 = 2 : 3

Therefore:

<u>12 1/2 : 18 3/4 = 2 : 3</u>

A cooler contains ten bottles of sports drink: four lemon-lime flavored, three orange-flavored, and three fruit-punch flavored.
Alika [10]

Since there are a total of 10 bottles, the probability of getting a certain one is based on the number of those bottles in the cooler.

The probability of getting a lemon-lime flavored drink is 4/10 or 40%.

The probability of getting a orange flavored drink is 3/10 or 30%

The probability of getting a fruitpunch flavored drink is also 3/10 or 30%.

If the question is asking what the probability is of choosing lemon-lime, fruit punch and fruit punch again in that order, you would multiply the probabilities together.

.4 * .3 * .3 = .036, so there’s a 3.6% chance of picking these exact 3 flavors happening again.

A circle with radius of 6cm sits inside a circle with radius of 9 cm
san4es73 [151]

Answer: area of shaded region is 141.3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume that the shade region is the area between both circles. The area of the shaded region is the area of the outer circle - the area of the inner circle.

The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as

Area = πr²

Where

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

Considering the inner circle,

Radius = 6 cm

Area = 3.14 × 6² = 113.04 cm²

Considering the outer circle,

Radius = 9 cm

Area = 3.14 × 9² = 254.34 cm²

Area of the shaded region is

254.34 - 113.04 = 141.3 cm²
