Answer:

In a 24 pack of soda, 1/8 would be 3 cans (24/8 = 3). 1/12 would be 2 cans (24/12=2).

So 3/8 is 9 cans of soda and 5/12 is 10 cans of soda, so they are not equivalent because the number of soda cans is not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Join A and C and B and D. And add numbers to the angles formed on one of the diagonal
In triangles ABC and ADC,
Angle 1 = Angle 4
Angle 3 = Angle 2
AC = AC
Therefore, triangle ABC=ADC
Since, ABC=ADC
Similarly, triangle ABD= triangle CDB
Therefore, AB=CD and BC=DA

PLEASE HELP!

Kay [80]

Answer:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1 inch = 3 miles in map

We are also given the actual distance between City A and City B = 231 miles.

In order to get the distance in inches = Distance between City A and City B in miles/ 3

We are dividing the distance by 3 to get the distance in inches.

So,

Distance on map = 231/3

= 77 inches

The diagonal length of a rectangle is 25 inches, and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

diamong [38]

Answer:

Option C is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of diagonal = 25 inches

Length of rectangle = 9 inches

Width of rectangle will be one of the two legs of right angled triangle and the diagonal will be the hypotenuse.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(9)^2+w^2=(25)^2\\81 + w^2 = 625 \\w^2 = 625-81\\w^2 = 544$

Taking square root;

$\sqrt{w^2}=\sqrt{544}\\w=23.3$

Therefore,

Option C is the right answer.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

9 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.

-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:

$\frac{Kyle}{Taylor}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\\therefore \frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\2x=18\\\\x=9$

Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.
