Answer: 44.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
That big triangle is made up of 2 congruent 30-60-90 triangles with each base measuring 4.5. You could use the tangent ratio to get tan60 = x / 4.5. Multiply both sides by 4.5 to get 4.5 tan60 = x. Do that on your calculator in degree mode to get that x = 7.79 or 7.8
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
There is x candy in total and y students in total.
Group A consists of 0.8y students, and group B consists of 0.2y students.
Group A gets 40% of x, or 0.4x. Each student in group A gets 0.4x/(0.8y) = 0.5x/y candy per person.
Group B gets 60% of x, or 0.6x. Each student in group B gets 0.6x/(0.2y) = 3x/y candy per person.
The ratio of candy each student in group A has to the amount of candy each student in group B has is:
(0.5x/y)/(3x/y) = 0.5/3 = 1/6
