<h3>There are two answers</h3><h3>choice A 3:1</h3><h3>choice B 9:3</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

Note how 27 and 9 have a common factor of 3.

Divide each part by this common factor

27/3 = 9

9/3 = 3

So 27:9 is equivalent to 9:3

Choice B is one of the answers

-----------

Another common factor of 27 and 9 is 9. This is the greatest common factor (GCF). Divide both parts by the GCF

27/9 = 3

9/9 = 1

The ratio 27:9 is equivalent to 3:1

Choice A is one of the answers

-----------

Another way to see why choice A and choice B are the answers is to divide the two parts of the original ratio from left to right

27/9 = 3

Then for choice A's ratio of 3:1, we do the same to get 3/1 = 3

and choice B as well to get 9/3 = 3

Each time we divide the parts of teh ratio from left to right, we end up with 3 as a result.

Something like choice C doesn't work because 6/3 = 2 and choice D is 9/6 = 1.5 and choice E is 12/3 = 4, showing all different results from 3.

Hurrry help number is chosen at random form 1 to 50 find the probiotic of selecting prime numbers

Paul [167]

Answer: $\frac{3}{10}$ or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

We will divide the wanted outcomes by the possible outcomes.

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{\text{number of prime number}}{\text{number of numbers 1 through 50}} =\frac{15}{50}=\frac{3}{10}\;\; \text{or 30\%}$

The prime numbers from one through fifty are; 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, and 47.

Find the unit vector in the direction of (4,-4). Write your answer in component form. Do not approximate any numbers in your ans

aniked [119]

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} } )$

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit vector for a nonzero vector, say u, in the direction of u is given by:

û = $\frac{u}{|u|}$ ---------------(i)

Where;

|u| = magnitude of vector u

From the question;

u = (4, -4)

First let's calculate the magnitude of u as follows;

|u| = $\sqrt{(4)^2 + (-4)^2}$

|u| = $\sqrt{16 + 16}$

|u| = $\sqrt{32}$ = $4\sqrt{2}$

Now, substitute u and |u| into equation (i) as follows;

û = $\frac{(4, -4)}{4\sqrt{2} }$

û = $(\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-4}{4\sqrt{2} } )$

û = $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} } )$

Therefore, the unit vector is $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }, \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2} } )$

What is the measurement of Angle O in parallelogram LMNO. When angle L is (x+40) and angle O is (3x)

I am Lyosha [343]

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.

This means that the four angles of the parallelogram are:

$L = x+40,\quad M = 3x,\quad N = x+40,\quad O = 3x$

Moreover, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is 180(n-2). So, the sum of the interior angles of a parallelogram is 360.

This means

$L+M+N+O = 360 \iff 2(x+40)+2(3x) = 2x+80+6x = 360 \iff 8x = 280 \iff x = 35$

And since $O=3x$ , we have $O=3\cdot 35=105$
