Answer:

Answer to the 1st question is: 16/9 or 16:9 (whichever form you use)

Answer to the 2nd question is: 7/9 or 7:9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Number theory, Ratios, and Fractions</u>

1) Let's look at the first question. A ratio is usually a number of something over a number of another thing. One such example is 5 apples : 4 oranges (or 5 apples/ 4 oranges - whichever form you write in).

  1. Based on that let's look at the first problem. We want to find the ratio of all the marbles in the bag to the blue marbles. So it would be --> the total # of marbles over the number of blue marbles.
  2. The total number of marbles is 7+9= 16. This would be our <u>first number, or the numerator. </u>
  3. The number of blue marbles is 9. This would be our <u>2nd number, or the denominator of the ratio.</u>
  4. With this information --> The ratio would be 16/9 or 16:9                                              

2) Now let's look at the 2nd question. The number of red marbles to the number of blue marbles is the ratio we need to find.  

  1. The number of red marbles is 7. This would be our first number or the numerator.
  2. The number of blue marbles is 9. This would be our second number or the denominator.
  3. Therefore, the ratio would be --> 7/9 or 7:9

Julia is designing a frame for a client. She wants to prove to her client that m∠AGE ≅ m∠FHD in her sketch. What is the missing
katen-ka-za [31]

The missing justification in Julia's angle proof is; Corresponding Angles Theorem

<h3>What is the angle theorem used?</h3>

We know that m∠AGE ≅ m∠HGB because they have congruent angles and are vertical angles.

Similarly, m∠HGB ≅ m∠CHE are alternate interior angles because two congruent angles on the inner side of the parallel lines are formed by a transversal.

In the diagram, m∠AGE ≅ m∠CHE would have to be corresponding Angles Theorem because parallel lines cut by a transversal would create congruent corresponding angles. That means a pair of angles on the same side of one of two lines that is cut by a transversal and on the same side of the transversal.

Marta is making a scale drawing of her apartment for a school project. The apartment is 28ft wide. On her drawing, the apartment
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

<h2>The scale is 1 inch rep 4 feet or </h2><h2>1:4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on ratios, the ratio of one quantity to another is a way to represent their relative size.

Moreso, the scale of a drawing tells us to what extent the drawing has been increased (maximized) or decresed (minimized)

now given that the actual dimention of the appartmentis 28ft wide

and on the drawing the apartment is 7 inches wide, we can see that the actual dimension has been reduced by a factor of 28/7= 4

hence the scale to represent this reduction is

1 inch to represent 4 feet
