QUESTION : \frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{a}. What I would do is divide 24 by 3, and once you do that, your answer is 8. So that leads you to the conclusion that 8 is multiplied by 3 to get 24. Move down to the 5 and the a. If the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by 8 to get the numerator of the second fraction, then you can sure as heck believe that the same applies to both denominators.

So I would say you multiply 5 with 8. 5 × 8 is 40, and so a = 40.

Taylor can clean pools at a constant rate of 2/5 pools per hour. What is the ratio of pools to hours? HELPP PLEASE
Hatshy [7]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

To solve for this, we need to understand what a ratio is. A ratio is a comparison between two things. (in numbers) In this case,  between pools and hours:

pools:hours

A fraction is also a ratio, in this case we have 2/5, which also compares pools to hours, so we can turn this into a more proper ratio form:

2 pools: 5 hours

2:5

<u>So, our ratio of pools to hours is 2:5.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Elliott is standing at the top of a store escalator that leads to the ground floor below. the angle of depression from the top o
erma4kov [3.2K]

By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.

<h3>How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>

We can think of this as a right triangle.

Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse

We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:

90° - 42.51° = 47.49°

Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:

cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Replacing what we know:

cos(47.49°)  = height/16ft

cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft

Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:

height = 11ft
