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

0.04 with 4 repeating as a fraction. Not the 04 repeating just the 4 is repeating. What is the answer???

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2/45

Step-by-step explanation:

0.04... is the same as 0.1 * 0.4... because we are moving it up a decimal place, it's the same as multiplying by ten: we needed to multiply by a tenth to cancel that out. 0.4... is the same as 4/9 and 0.1 is the same as 1/10. We can rewrite the expression above as: $(\frac{1}{10} )(\frac{4}{9} )$ . Multiplying the two fractions results in 4/90 which can be simplified to 2/45.
