Write two ratios equivalent to 24 : 9.

Mathematics

Answer:

8:3

16:6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).

Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9

Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.

1 < 3

Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).

24:9

24/3:9/3

<u>8:3</u>

Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:

<u>8:3</u>

8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2

<u>16:6</u>

<u></u>

So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.

Consider the geometric sequence below.
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

f(1) = 8

Common ratio: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) means the firs term in a sequence.

In the function f(n), represented by 8, 4, 2, 1, .., the first term is 8.

f(1) = 8

To find the common ratio, divide any term by the term before it.

We can use any two of the given terms in the sequence EXCEPT for 8 because it is the first term and does not have a term before it.

I choose to divide the second term by the first term:

4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

GEOMETRY PEOPLE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!
IrinaVladis [17]

\Delta KLJ\sim\DeltaNPM (AAA) Corresponding angles are congruent.

Therefore, the sides of the triangles are proportional:

\dfrac{4x-4}{20}=\dfrac{30}{25}    cross multiply

25(4x-4)=(20)(30)    use distributive property

(25)(4x)+(25)(4)=600\\\\100x+100=600    subtract 100 from both sides

100x=500     divide both sides by 100

x=5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

\Delta PQR\cong\Delta STU (SAS)

If two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

Therefore we have the equation:

3y-2=y+4\qquad|+2\\\\3y=y+6\qquad|-y\\\\2y=6\qquad|:2\\\\y=3

The perimeter of △PQR:

P=4+6+3y-2=8+3y

Substitute the value of y to the expression:

P=8+3(3)=8+9=17\ ft
