1 answer:

3 0

To convert a ratio to a fraction, we just make the first number in the ratio the numerator and the second number in the ratio the denominator.

12 : 36 = 12/36

When simplifying fractions, you find factors that the numerator and denominators share, and then divide both by this factor.

The numbers 12 and 36 both share a factor of 12. Thus, to simplify 12/36, we should divide it by 12/12.

12/36 ÷ 12/12 = 1/3

Therefore, the ratio 12 : 36 as a fraction in simplest form is 1/3.

Each length unit on the speedway diagram represents one-tenth of a mile. What is the area of the sector associated with turn A i

Alecsey [184]

We know that
area of a circle=pi*r²
turn A
r=3 units------> 3*(1/10)----> 0.3 miles
area of a circle=3.142*0.3²-----> 0.28278 miles²

by proportion
0.28278/360°=A/90°------> A=90*0.28278/360------> A=0.0707 miles²

the answer is
0.0707 miles²
