Answer:
First, a rational number is defined as the quotient between two integer numbers, such that:
N = a/b
where a and b are integers.
Now, the axiom that we need to use is:
"The integers are closed under the multiplication".
this says that if we have two integers, x and y, their product is also an integer:
if x, y ∈ Z ⇒ x*y ∈ Z
So, if now we have two rational numbers:
a/b and c/d
where a, b, c, and d ∈ Z
then the product of those two can be written as:
(a/b)*(c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d)
And by the previous axiom, we know that a*c is an integer and b*d is also an integer, then:
(a*c)/(b*d)
is the quotient between two integers, then this is a rational number.
Answer:
part A) The scale factor of the sides (small to large) is 1/2
part B) Te ratio of the areas (small to large) is 1/4
part C) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Determine the scale factor of the sides (small to large).
we know that
The dilation is a non rigid transformation that produce similar figures
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional
so
Let
z ----> the scale factor
The scale factor is equal to
substitute
simplify
Part B) What is the ratio of the areas (small to large)?
<em>Area of the small triangle</em>
<em>Area of the large triangle</em>
ratio of the areas (small to large)
Part C) Write a generalization about the ratio of the sides and the ratio of the areas of similar figures
In similar figures the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor
In similar figures the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
3 cups of flour produces 2 batches of dinner rolls. So, if one batch makes 15 rolls, then 2 batches makes 30 rolls. Therefore, 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls.
Laura wants to find how much flour she needs to make 12 rolls.
Here's the setup:
Let x be the number of cups of flour needed. Then,
(3 cups of flour)/(30 rolls)=(x cups of flour)/(12 rolls)
This is the set up for all equations involving ratios. The units should be consistent. Notice how I have flour/rolls=flour/rolls.
It is not necessary to solve the equation, but you should to make sure your answer makes sense. By cross-multiplying, we get x=(3*12)/30 or 1.2 cups.
This solution makes sense. Because 3 cups of flour produces 30 rolls, one cup produces 10 rolls. We need slightly more than 1 cup to get 12 rolls.
