3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j
to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4
so j = 5/4
Some sets of three are collinear
C. 14.9 because the second number is 5 so you drop the seven and the 5 and round the 8 up to 9
Answer:
a) 2.5
b) 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
For similar figures, the ratio of any corresponding linear dimensions is the same. The ratio of areas is the square of that.
<h3>Application</h3>
The ratio of linear dimensions, larger to smaller, is ...
(30 yd)/(12 yd) = 2.5
<h3>a) Perimeter</h3>
Perimeter is a linear dimension, the sum of side lengths. The ratio of perimeters is 2.5.
<h3>b) Area</h3>
The ratio of areas, larger to smaller, is the square of the scale factor for side lengths:
(2.5)² = 6.25
The ratio of the areas of the larger to smaller figure is 6.25.
