We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)

so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads

in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.

so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.

There are 10 yellow, 6 green, 9 orange, and 5 red cards in a stack of cards turned facedown. Once a card is selected, it is not
Iteru [2.4K]
10 yellow cards over 30 = 10/30
second selection : 9 yellow cards over 29 = 9/29

10/30 * 9/29 = 1/3 * 9 /29 = 3/29 = 0.1034 = 10.34%

Answer:

D. Yes The Triangles ARE ≅

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition equilateral triangles have all equal angles and sides. Since they share a side that means one of each triangle's sides are congruent. Using the transitive property (if side a ≅ side b and side b ≅ side c, then side a ≅ side c), you can prove that all other sides are congruent or equal in measure, no matter how you pair them.
