Answer:

3:6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of apples in the basket=12

Number of pears in the basket=24

Number of oranges in the basket=16

We have to find the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the  basket.

12=4\times 3

24=4\times 3\times 2

16=4\times 2\times 2

HCF (12,24,16)=4

Now, divide each number by HCF

Then, we get

3:6:4

Therefore, the ratio of apples, pears and oranges in the  basket.

3:6:4

What is the equation in slope-intercept form of a line parallel to y=−2x+5 and passes through the point (4, 0)?
ser-zykov [4K]

Parallel lines have the same slope

The equation of the line is: y = -2x+8

The equation is given as:

y = -2x + 5

The slope intercept form of an equation is:

y = mx + b

Where:

m \to slope

By comparison,

m = -2

The line is said to be parallel to y = -2x + 5.

This means that the line has a slope of m = -2

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

Where:

(x_1,y_1) = (4,0)

So, we have:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

Substitute values for m, x1 and y1

y = -2(x - 4) + 0

y = -2(x - 4)

Open brackets

y = -2x+8

Hence, the equation of the line is: y = -2x+8

See attachment for the graphs of y = -2x+8 and y = -2x + 5

Answer:

B. 68 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

H-------J-------K

you know that HJ is 56, and JK is 2/9 × HJ.

2/9 × 56 = 12.4

you now know HJ and JK, so HK is the sum of those.

12.4 + 56 = 68.4

so HK ≅ 68 when you round the answer

Martin's running ability is measured by this proportion:
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

A = 13 B =0 = 1/2   This way x in a graph can be his start running ability (time) each A value applied will divide by 1/2 to make 6.5 and when x = 21 then y can be 7 with the AB equation above as 13 x 1/2 = 6.5. add multiple 0 doesn't occur because we start with x value 21 to show the starting value. Alternately x= 137 and y = 0. Then the graph can go up or down when his running value changes as a negative decrease 137 - b = -? and a positive increase will show increase 137+b = +?.

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 132 units. Find the length of side CD
Novay_Z [31]

The opposite sides of a rectangle will always be congruent. If they aren't, it's not a rectangle.

To find CD, you need to find what z is. This can be found using the given, the perimeter, and plugging that into the perimeter formula using the information given. You end up with 2(4z - 3) + 2(3z - 1) = 132. Solve for z and you find that z = 10.

CD is congruent to AB, which is 3z -1. Plug z in to get AB = 29. Since AB = CD, CD = 29.
