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

8:3

Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. 8:3 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:

8:3

8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2

16:6

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

Question 17 of 25

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 2 → (1)

2y = 5x + 4 ( divide through by 2 )

y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x + 2 → (2)

the 2 equations are the same and will have infinitely many solutions

A seagull has a vertical position a, and a shark has a vertical position b. Draw and label a point on the vertical axis to show

Answer:

Image attached

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to represent the position of two animals in a the cartesian coordinates plane. This is two perpendicular axis, the y-axis is the vertical one and the x-axis is the horizontal one. The animals are represented by dots, called a for the seagull and b for the shark.

Since the y-axis is the vertical axis and they ask to draw the points with a verical difference between them, we will draw the points in it.

Say the x-axis represents the sea surfice. The seagull would be over the sea, and the shark under the sea surfice (under x-axis).

This is the resulting drawing

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints (1, 0) and (2, -10).

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$\bigl(\frac{3}{2},-5\bigr)$

or in decimal form

$(1.5,-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of the line with endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is $\bigl(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\bigr)$ . just take the average between the points
