Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:
short : long = 1 : 5
The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.
The lengths are ...
1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in
The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.
__
Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...
s +5s = 144
s = 144/6 = 24
5s = 5(24) = 120
The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.
Answer:
no they don't form a proportion
Step-by-step explanation:
16:18/2:2 = 8:9
8:9 and 1:2 are unequal
A. 1/1.75 = 3/5.25
Ignore this part I'm just trying to get at least 20 characters.
