Answer:

c. 6/15 = 10/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the hint, we can form the cross products of the offered choices:

a. 6(12) vs 9(9) ⇒ 72 vs 81 . . . not a proportion

b. 8(21) vs 16(10) ⇒ 168 vs 160 . . . not a proportion

c. 6(25) vs 15(10) ⇒ 150 vs 150 . . . IS A PROPORTION

d. 4(27) vs 14(6) ⇒ 108 vs 84 . . . not a proportion

The cross products are the same for choice C, so that is a pair of ratios that form a proportion:

6/15 = 10/25

Ella and kate play basketball last year ella scored 16 points per game kates total points for the season were 22 less than Ellis

KatRina [158]

Alright, lets get started.

Ella and kate played basketball last year.

In each game, Ella scored 16 points.

We have not given the number of games played.

So, lets suppose there are n games played last year.

So, total points of Ella will be = number of games * each game score

total points of Ella will be = n * 16 = 16 n

Kates total points for the season are 22 less than Elli's points

Means , Kates total points = 16 n - 22

This expression is similar with expression given 16 z - 22 (which is give in question)

It means z = n , means variable z means total games played in last year. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

What is the interquartile range of this data 0 5 10 15 20

timama [110]

The interquartile range (IQR) is 15.

To find the IQR, you must:
1) Find the median
2) Split the data set in two at the median.
3) Find the medians from both the groups you made in Step 2
4) Label the smaller one Quartile 1 and the larger one Quartile 3 (Hint: The median is Quartile 2)
5) Subtract: Quartile 3 - Quartile 1

Two thirds of a number decreased by eighteen is negative twenty-four.

enot [183]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Two thirds of the number is expressed as ;

$\frac{2}{3} * x\\\frac{2x}{3}$

The number decreased by 18:

$\frac{2x}{3} - 18$

If the resulting value is equal to 24;

$\frac{2x}{3} - 18 = 24$

solve the resulting expression for x

$\frac{2x}{3} - 18 = 24\\\frac{2x}{3} = 24+18\\\frac{2x}{3} -= 42\\2x = 3*42\\x = 126/2\\x = 63$

Hence the unknown number is 63

An icicle drips at a rate that can be represented by the function f(x) = −x2 + 11x − 18, where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and x is the number of

FrozenT [24]

Calculate f(x) for all numbers between 0 and 10:

f(0) = −0^2 + 11(0) − 18 = -18

f(1) = −1^2 + 11(1) − 18 = -8

f(2) = −2^2 + 11(2) − 18 = 0

f(3) = −3^2 + 11(3) − 18 = 6

f(4) = −4^2 + 11(4) − 18 = 10

f(5) = −5^2 + 11(5) − 18 = 12

f(6) = −6^2 + 11(6) − 18 = 12

f(7) = −7^2 + 11(7) − 18 = 10

f(8) = −8^2 + 11(8) − 18 = 6

f(9) = −9^2 + 11(9) − 18 = 0

f(10) = −10^2 + 11(10) − 18 = -8

When the value is negative it doesn't drip, so it starts and stops dripping when the values = 0

Which is f(2) and f(9), the values are 2 and 9.
