Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 in 2:3 is the amount of blue paint
3 in 2:3 is the amount of yellow paint
Figure out how many times to multiply 2 to get 16:
16/2=8
Now, multiply 3 by 8, which would be equal to 24.
Ratio: 16:24
Answer:
C and E I think
Step-by-step explanation:
They both represent taking number of people, or population
Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60
Answer with step-by-step explanation:
The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be
.
Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.
Why?
By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.
Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are
and
.
The ratio of
is
.
The reason why it ideally should be
and not
is because the question states
, which mentions
first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.
