In a store, perhaps. People want it to be easy to shop, so it would be best for say, a top ramen package to be the same net weight as all the other top ramen packages. This makes it 1) easy to label and 2) easy to be confident buying, as it is exactly the same as all the others.

Step-by-step explanation:
5:3 x 6:2 can also be written as a fraction
5/3 x 6/2
Multiply across
30/6
Simplify

Rewrite
5:1 is your answer, or if your teacher does not want it simplified, 30:6
Hope I helped! :)
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
27
Discussion:
By the distance formula (or Pythagorean theorem)
distance = sqrt ( (change in x)^2 + (change in y)^2)
In our case this becomes
distance = sqrt ( (18 - (-9) )^2 + (-12 - ( -12))^2)
= sqrt ( ( 18 + 9) ^2 + ( -12 + 12) ^ 2)
= sqrt ( ( 18 + 9) ^2 + 0^2 )
= sqrt ( 27^2)
= 27
Geometrically, as both y coordinates = -12, the points define a horizontal line segment. The length is then simply the difference of the x coordinates, 18 - (-9) = 18 +9 = 27. Same answer as before
Thank you,
MrB
