9 apples per basket

Peter is making 8 identical fruit baskets. If the baskets are identical, that means they all have the same amount of fruit in them. If I know how many apples were used, then I can divide that by the total number of baskets (8) to find out how many apples were used per basket.

12 oranges were used per basket. There were 8 baskets. 12 x 8 = 96, so 96 oranges were used in total.

168 - 96 = 72

There were 72 apples used in total.

There were the same amount of apples in each of the 8 fruit baskets. 72/8 = 9, which means that there were 9 apples per fruit basket.

I need help on ratio of x-coordinates and ratio of y-coordinates

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Ratio of x-coordinates:

$\frac{-1}{-2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Ration of y-coordinates:

$\frac{2.5}{5}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{-2}{-4}=\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The table is asking for the ratio of x-coordinates for each point (A, B, C and D) for both the image and pre-image. The ratio is the image 'x' or 'y' value ÷ the pre-image 'x' or 'y' value. Each ratio should be expressed in simplest form and should show the same pattern of dilation, or same scale factor. In this case, the second figure is 1/2 the size of the original figure.

The triangles are isosceles. The following notation are for the angles. For example ABD is refer to the angle located in the B vertex, formed by the segments AB and BD.

$ABD = ADB\\40 + 2ADB = 180\\ADB = 70 = ABD\\$
