Answer:

3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original ratio between the red and green crayons would be 18:24, but you would need to simplify that to reach your definite simplified answer. Doing this, you find the least common factor between 18 and 24 which is 3 for 18 and 4 for 24.

Answer:

4 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So to answer this, we must find the greatest common factor(GCF) of 18 adn 24 , then divide by that to get the ratio.

So, what are the factors of 18?

Now what are the factors of 24?

All of these work, but we need to GCF, which is the largest factor that goes into both numbers.

Looking at them, it would be 6.

So lets divide both numbers by 6 and see what we get:

18/6

24/6

So now there are 3 red crayons and 4 green crayons.

For every 3 red crayons there are 4 green crayons.

This makes the ratio:

3 : 4

14 kg of apples cost $154.how much would 16kg cost

ankoles [38]

We can set up a proportion, and let x be the amount 16kg would cost: 14/154=16/x. We simplify 14/154 = 1/11. Next, we cross-multiply to get (1)(x)=(16)(11), so x=176. Therefore, 16kg of apples cost $176.

If the area of the blue square is 144 units2 and the area of the pink square is 1225 units2, then the length of the hypotenuse i

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 37 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$Blue=144units^2$ This also works as the height of the triangle.

$Pink=1225units^2$ This also works as the base of the triangle.

Let's call pink ''a'', and blue ''b''. The side we're looking for ''c'' is the hypothenuse.

To find the values of a and b, use the area formula of a square and solve for a side. In this case, since we're going to need the squared values, this step can be omitted.

$Formula: A=s^2$
