I think it’s B or A But I’m not sure
Answer: The correct option is (B) 24 : 25.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2 : 3.
We are to find the ratio of the area of R to the area of S.
Let 2x, 3x be the sides of rectangle R and y be the side of square S.
Then, according to the given information, we have
Therefore, the ratio of the area of R to the area of S is
Thus, the required ratio of the area of R to the area of S is 24 : 25.
Option (B) is CORRECT.
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.
This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.
Answer:Third one
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4/25
Step-by-step explanation:
12 divided by 3
72 divided by 3
Greatest Common Divisor:
3
So 12/72 simplifed would be 4/25 and the GCD would be 3.
