Is 27/51 =18/34? explain your reasoning

2 answers:

8 0

They are = because both can be reduced to 9/17
Also their cross products are equal 27 x 34 = 18 x 51 - Both equal 918 so both fractions are equal to each other.

Answer:

Yes its true . both sides are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{27}{51} =\frac{18}{34}$

Lets simplify each fraction and check

Left hand side fraction has a common factor 3. divide top and bottom by 3

So $\frac{27}{51}$ becomes 9/17

Now the right hand side fraction has a common factor 2. Divide top and bottom by 2

So $\frac{18}{34}$ becomes 9/17

$\frac{27}{51} =\frac{18}{34}$

After reducing fractions the equation becomes

$\frac{9}{17} =\frac{9}{17}$

So both are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial image of the photo is 2 in by 4 in. The mat is 4 in by 6 in.

The new image is dilated by a scale of 2. So we double the dimensions. The new photo is 4 in by 8 in. The new mat is 8 in by 12 in.

Given: PSTK - trapezoid m∠P = 90°, SK=13 PK = 12, ST = 8 Find: Area of PSTK

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Area of PSTK = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

△SPK:

SK = 13, PK = 12

13^2 - 12^2 = SP^2

SP = 5

(8 + 12) /2 x 5 = 50

Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function?

klemol [59]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Exponential functions have the following form:

$y = ab^x$

Where "b" is the base ( $b > 0$ and $b\neq 1$ ), "a" is a coefficient ( $a\neq 0$ ) and "x" is the exponent.

It is importat to remember that the "Zero exponent rule" states that any base with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1.

Then, for an input value 0 ( $x=0$ ) the output value (value of "y") of the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function must be 1 ( $y=1$ ).
