Answer:
or 
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you can convert the mixed number
into a decimal number. To do this, you need to divide the numerator (which is 1) by the denominator (which is 2) of the fraction:

Now you must add 0.5 to the whole number part. Then:
In order to find the ratio of cleaner to water, you must divide 1.5 cups of cleaner by 12 cups of water.
Therefore, the ratio is:
or 
Answer:
_________________________________
Pi = 3.14
3.14 * 3.14 = 9.86
You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21
Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:
... AC/AD = AB/AC
... AB = AC²/AD
... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle
_____
Then the area (A) is ...
... A = (1/2)bh
... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units
_____
As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...
... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB
You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.
