Simplify the ratio 5m:240cm

Mathematics
2 answers:
omeli [17]2 years ago

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>

Answer:

  the correct answer is marked

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph ranges vertically between 9 and 15, starting at 9 (the minimum) when x=0. The minimum appears again at x=350.

This means the vertical offset is (9+15)/2 = 12, and the amplitude is (15 -9)/2 = 3. The period is 350, so the coefficient of x is (2π/350). All of the answer choices agree on these parameters.

So, the selection comes down to an understanding of how the sine and cosine curves vary. The sine curve starts at zero and increases from there. The cosine curve starts at its maximum (1) and decreases. Here, the curve starts a its minimum and increases, so could be the opposite of the cosine function.

  y = -3cos(2πx/350) +12 . . . . . . matches choice C
