Which of the following is a correct proportion?

Mathematics
2 answers:
rodikova [14]3 years ago

First, we'll solve A.

2 x2 = 4

3 x2 = 9

3x2=6, not 9.

So it is not A.

5 x2 = 10

7 x2 = 11

7x2=14, not 11.

So B. is out too.

It isn't D. because 12/9 is improper and 3/4 isn't.

So C. is left.

4 x2 = 8

6 x2 = 12

hope it helps!

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3><h3>4/6 = 8/12</h3>

===============================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

-----------

Choice A.

Assume that the given equation here is correct. If so, then we can cross multiply to get

2/3 = 4/9

2*9 = 3*4

18 = 12

The last equation is false, so the first equation is also false. Choice A is not the answer.

-------------

Choice B.

We could do the similar trick as with choice A, but I'll use another method.

Use your calculator to find that

5/7 = 0.714 approx

10/11 = 0.909 approx

We get different decimal values for each fraction, so there's no way the two sides are the same. Choice B is crossed off the list.

-------------

Choice C.

I'll use another method here. Note how the denominators are 6 and 12, and how 6*2 = 12. If we multiply top and bottom of 4/6 by 2, then

(4/6)*(2/2) = (4*2)/(6*2) = 8/12

meaning that 4/6 = 8/12 is a true equation. We can see it through cross multiplication

4/6 = 8/12

4*12 = 6*8

48 = 48

or we could use our calculator to find that

4/6 = 0.667 approx

8/12 = 0.667 approx

Another calculator trick you can use is type in "4/6 - 8/12" without quotes and you should get 0 (or very close to it) as a result. This is using the idea that if x = y, then x-y = 0.

Choice C is the answer

----------------

Choice D.

Since we found the answer, we technically don't need to check choice D. But let's do so anyway.

Right off the bat, we know that 3/4 is less than one, while 12/9 is greater than one. So there's no way 3/4 = 12/9 could be true.

Find the distance between the two points rounding to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
Virty [35]

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(9-6)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-2)^2+3^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{13}\implies d\approx 3.6056\implies \stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{d=3.6}

Answer:

They will be picked up at 2 \frac{1}{4} yards above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider sea level as reference and positions above sea level as positive and below sea level as negative.

With respect to this reference,

the position of top most point is +17 \frac{3}{4} yards

and the position of lower most point is -13 \frac{1}{4} yards

⇒ The position of midpoint is \frac{+17 \frac{3}{4} - 13 \frac{1}{4}}{2}

                                              = +2 \frac{1}{4}

∴ <u>They will be picked up at 2 \frac{1}{4} yards above sea level</u>

What is the fraction eight twentieths in its simplest form?
Nostrana [21]
Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4, meaning that when they are both divided by this number they wll be in their simplest form.

e.g. 8/4=2 and 20/4=5

Therefore the simplest form is 2/5
