On the Ford Aquatics swim team, 11 year olds and 12 year olds swim together. The Gold team has a 2:3 ratio of 11 year olds to 12

year olds. The Silver team has a 3:8 ratio of 11 year olds to the total swimmers. If the two teams have the same number of 11 year olds what could the size of the teams be?

Answer:

The Gold team has 8 swimmers and the silver team also has 8 swimmers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of swimmers on the Gold team. Since, the Gold team has a 2:3 ratio of 11 year olds to 12 year olds, the number of 11 year old is T' = 2/(2 + 3) × T = 2T/5 and the number of 12 year olds is T" = 3/(2 + 3) × T = 3T/5.

The silver team has a 3:8 ratio of 11 year olds to the total swimmers. Let T₁ be the number of 11 year old swimmers in the silver team. So, from the ratio 3:8, the number of 11 year old swimmers in the silver team is 3 and the total number of swimmers in the silver team is 8.

Since the number of 11 year old swimmers in both teams are the same, then

2T/5 = 3

T = 3 × 5 ÷ 2

T = 15/2

T = 7.5

T≅ 8

So, the Gold team also has 8 swimmers.

So, the Gold team has 8 swimmers and the silver team also has 8 swimmers.

Answer:

k = 5,

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is proportional to x,

y ∝ x

Then the equation will be

y = kx

Her k = proportionality constant.

Now we choose a point from the given table.

Let the point is (2, 10).

By putting the values of x and y in the equation,

10 = 2×k

k = \frac{10}{2}

k = 5

This will be true for any point we choose from the table.

And the equation will be y = 5x

If two triangles are congruent, which of the following statements must be
Burka [1]

Answer:

[A] The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent.

[B] The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.

[C] The triangles have the same size.

[D]  The triangles have the same shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

SAS which it is stands for {side, angle, side} and the meaning of SAS is that we have two triangles where we see two sides and the included angle are equal.

In Order for two triangles to be congruent must have the following below:

  1. Two figures are said to be congruent if they have same size and same shape.
  2. If two figure are congruent that means the corresponding sides will also be congruent.
  3. If two figure are congruent that means the the corresponding angles will also be congruent.

Hence, base on the given all the following are correct:

A. The corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent. √

B. The corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent. √

C. The triangles have the same size. √

D. The triangles have the same shape. √
