Answer:

In cooking (recipes).

Step-by-step explanation:

If the serving size for a recipe is not adequate for the number of people you are serving, you will have to convert the amounts(measurements) of the ingredients to suit your needs. You will do this by first creating a ratio defining the relationship between the serving size of the given recipe to the number of people needed to be served. For example, if a recipe serves 4 people, and you need to serve 8, your ratio would simplify to 1/2. This means you must proportionally relate this ratio to the individual amounts of each ingredient.

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is as follows:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

A and B represent the side lengths (legs) and C represents the hypotenuse.

The length of one leg equals 5cm. (This can be represented by either a or b)

The hypotenuse equals 13 cm.

Plug these into the equation from above:

$a^{2} + (5^{2}) = (13^{2})$

Solve for the other leg:

$a^{2} + 25 = 169$ Square what's in the parentheses from above

$a^{2} = 144\\$ Subtract 25 from 169

$\sqrt{a^{2} } = \sqrt{144}$ Square root both sides

a = 12 cm

Thus, the length of the other leg is 12 cm.

Let's check our answer:

$12^{2} +5^{2} =13^{2}$ Square everything

144 + 25 = 169 Add

169 = 169

Because both sides are equal it means that 12 cm is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!!

A. simpson's paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

The Simpson's paradox was named after Edward Simpson, the person who described this paradox for the first time in 1951. In this paradox, you find two contrary patterns. For example, a positive and a negative correlation, depending on how data is analyzed. The differences in the analyses are how data are grouped. This paradox is observed often in social researches. Most of the times, results are affected by the sample on each group or additional information related to the data.
