Answer:
1. 1.25
2. 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2 : 2.5 = 1.25 Ratio from P To Q - 1 : 1.25
2. 2.5 : 2 = 0.8 Ratio from Q to P - 1 : 0.8
1. All you have to do is find the corresponding sides(meaning similar) and the compare them from one to another.
Example:
I know 5 and 4 are corresponding sides because they are similar. The ratio is Q to P we can find by writing them down. It can be written like this.
5:4 is so when we multiply this ratio from any side of Q we will get the correpoding side from P.
5:4 ratio = 1 : 0.8 - So the ratio is 0.8
There this is another ratio that we can compare to.
Now let’s say we need to find when the one of the P side is 4 and what would be the corresponding side.
4 x 1.25(ratio from P to Q) = 5
We can also find when the P side is 3 what would be Q’s corresponding side. Which is the ratio from P to Q or 1.25.
So just multiply 3 by 1.25.
3 x 1.25 = 3.75
3.75 x 0.8 = 3
The decimal number 0.4 is equivalent to 4/10 in fraction form. This fraction can be reduced to its simplest form by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of four and 10 is two. Therefore, 0.4 is equal to 2/5.
1 41/44
first change both into improper fractions
because it's division, flip the second term while changing sign from division to multiplication.
