Yes! 40:70 can be simplified! A ratio can be simplified if both numbers have a GCF that is not 1. Looking at 40 and 70, we see that they have a GCF of 10. That means that to simplify 40:70, we need to divide both numbers by 10. 40/10 = 4, and 70/10 = 7, so that means that our simplified ratio is 4:7.
Answer:
a) 3/4
b) 3/4
c) 3/4
d) all are 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. This is often referred to as "rise over run":
slope = Δy/Δx = "rise"/"run"
The triangles are drawn against the line so that you can use them to identify values of "rise" (vertical change) and "run" (horizontal change) between two points on the line.
__
<h3>a)</h3>
The slope of the segment AC is found by dividing the "rise" (BC = 3) by the "run"(AB = 4)
slope of AC = BC/AB = 3/4
__
<h3>b) </h3>
The slope of FH is similarly computed. Here, it is made a little more difficult, because you must estimate the value of GH.
slope of FH = GH/FG = 1.5/2 = 0.75 = 3/4
__
<h3>c) </h3>
The slope of CE is ...
slope of CE = DE/CD = 6/8 = 3/4
__
<h3>d)</h3>
The slopes in a), b), c) are all 3/4.
You can reasonably draw the conclusion that the slope of a line is the same everywhere. A line has constant slope.
600*10=6000
there are 6 thousands in 600 tens
