"c" is the hypotenuse of the largest triangle, and "a" is that triangle's shortest side. Thus the ratio is
... (longest side)/(shortest side)
Since all the triangles in the figure are similar, to complete the proportion, you need to recognize the triangle that "a" is the longest side of, then find the shortest side of that triangle.
"a" is the longest side (hypotenuse) of the smallest triangle. The shortest side of that triangle is "r". So, your proportion is ...
... c/a = a/r
The appropriate choice is the 2nd one, ...
... r
1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar
Solution:
1 cm = 1 ml
Capacity of ice cube = 1 cm
= 1 ml
Capacity of jar = 1.5 L
1 L = 1000 ml
1.5 L = 1.5 × 1000
= 1500 ml
Capacity of jar = 1500 ml
= 1500
Therefore 1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar.
Answer:
8 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
10 3/4 - 2 1/2
3/4 - 1/2 = 1/4
10 - 2 = 8
left means subtracting
6 7/8 - 2 5/8
Whole numbers subtract each other
Numerators subtract each other
The denominators stay the same.
6-2= 4
7-5=2
4 2/8
Reduce 2/8. Divide by 2. 2/2= 1, 8/2= 4
4 2/8=4 1/4
Answer: 4 2/8 = 4 1/4 cups left
Answer:
Each girl gets 2 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is an odd number. If you take the 4 in it and split that in half then you have 2. Then take the extra 1 from the rest of 5 and split that in half.
2 1/2.
