Simplify the ratio 5m:240cm

Mathematics
2 answers:
omeli [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

To simplify the ratio make sure that the units are the same

5m:240cm

Change the meters into centimeters

That's

1m = 100cm

5m = 500cm

So we have

500cm:240cm

500/240

= 25/12

= 25:12

Hope this helps

Answer:

25:12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to convert both amounts into the same unit. So;

<em>5m × 100 = 500 cm </em>

We're multiplying by 100 because a metre is 100 times bigger than 1 cm.

This changes the ratio from 5:240 to 500:240, which makes it easier to get to your end result.

Now, find the Highest Common Factor of both 500 and 240 - much like you do when simplifying fractions.

Factors of 240 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, <u>20</u>, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120 and 240.

Factors of 500 = 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, <u>20</u>, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250 and 500.

We then <u>divide both numbers by the HCF</u>, which we've just figured out is 20;

240 ÷ 20 = 12

500 ÷ 20 = 25

<h2>And there's your answer, <u>25:12</u></h2>

Write an appropriate direct variation equation if y = 18 when x = 2
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y=9x

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

In this problem we have

y=18 when x=2

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

k=\frac{y}{x} ----> k=\frac{18}{2}=9

therefore

The equation is equal to

y=9x
