Answer:

Not proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratios:

To tell whether the ratios are proportional or not.

Solution:

In order to tell whether the given ratios are proportional or not, we will reduce the fractions to the simplest numbers by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor and then comparing them. If they are equal then the ratios are proportional else not proportional.

So, the simplest form of 4/2 can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

the simplest form of 8/6 can be calculated by dividing both by 2 as it is the G.C.F.

Now, since 2/1 does not equal 4/3, hence the ratios are not proportional.

Mrs. Bogaczyk got bored and decided to go on an Amazon spending spree! She bought 3 pairs of flip flops for $14.95 each, a sundr

Dovator [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 pairs of flip flops = 14.95 x 3 = 44.85

Total amount spent = 44.85 + 21.50 + 9.99 + 15. 44 = 91.78

After adding tax = 91.78 + 7.34 = 99.12

Mrs B spent 99.12 altogether

Budget = 100

Then money left = 100 - 99.12 = 0.88

The length of the side of square A is 50% of the length of the square side expressing the area of the shaded area of square

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Let's call the side of square b x. Therefore, the side of square a is 0.5x, making its area 0.25x² and the area of square b is x². This means that the percentage is 25%.

15xy - 4 + 2xy -7xy - 1

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

10xy-5

Step-by-step explanation:

15xy-4+2xy-7xy-1 is the given expression.

I assume the directions say to simplify.

Group the xy terms together and group the constants together.

15xy+2xy-7xy-4-1

This is a demonstration of the commutative property.

Now I will use the distributive property to rewrite the first 3 terms as a multiplication:

(15+2-7)xy-5

10xy-5

Simplify the expression: the square root of -13 times the square root of -26 calculator

Rasek [7]

Sqrt -13 = sqrt13 i
sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * sqrt13i

sqrt-13 * sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * 13* i^2 = -13 sqrt2 (because i^2 = -1)

answer is -13 sqrt2

Triangle RST is shown. What is the y-coordinate of the final image of vertex T after the triangle is reflected over the x-axis f

gavmur [86]

Answer:

R¹(-7, -3) , S¹(-2, -1), T¹(-5, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

From the graph, the points are R(-4,5), S(1,3),T(-2,-2)

First, the points are reflected over the x-axis then transform in to

(x,y)→(x,-y)

R(-4,5)→R¹(-4,-5)

S(1,3)→S¹(1,-3)

T(-2,-2)→T¹(-2,2)

Step(ii):-

Next, The points are shifted to 3 units left then the transform

(x,y)→ (x -3 ,y)

R¹(-4,-5)→ R¹(-4-3, -5) → R¹(-7, -5)

S¹(1,-3) → S¹(1-3, -3) → S¹(-2, -3)

T¹(-2,2) → T¹(-2-3, 2)→ T¹(-5, 2)

Step(iii):-

Now again the points are shifted to '2' units up then transform to

(x,y) )→ (x ,y+2)

R¹(-7, -5+2) → R¹(-7, -3)

S¹(-2, -3+2) → S¹(-2, -1)

T¹(-5, 2+2) → T¹(-5, 4)
