7/19 are the fraction of men's shoes

explanation + example:

Use the total number as the denominator: 6 + 8 = 14

Use each of the ratio terms as the numerator in a fraction:

6 becomes 6/14

8 becomes 8/14

Reduce each fraction to lowest terms:

6/14 simplifies to 3/7

8/14 simplifies to 4/7

The part-to-part ratio 6 : 8 converts into the fractions:

6/14 = 3/7

8/14 = 4/7

Give an example of tangents in the real world that have not been presented in this lesson.
german

Answer:

Hey! Sorry im too late lol but here-

Step-by-step explanation:

Example of tangent in the real world-

When a stone gets tied at one end of a string & the other end is rotated, then the stone will form a circle.

How you know the tangent and radius are perpendicular:

The radius is formed vertically and is completely straight, while the tangent is completely straight but horizontal. You can draw a right triangle angle between the radius and tangent line by adding a third line, and a right angle is 90 degrees. So, this forms a perpendicular line.

Hope this helped :))
