Ratios and proportions tie into each other. A ratio in real life would be basically comparing two quantities, as a proportion would be solving for the similar ratio or the equal ratio to another.
Ann wants to choose from two telephone plans. Plan A involves a fixed charge of $10 per month and call charges at $0.10 per minute. Plan B involves a fixed charge of $15 per month and call charges at $0.08 per minute.
Plan A $10 + .10/minute
Plan B $15 + .08/minute
If 250 minutes are used:
Plan A: $10+$25=$35
Plan B: $15+$20=$35
If 400 minutes are used:
Plan A: $10+$40=$50
Plan B: $15+$32=$47
B is the correct answer. How to test it:
Plan A: $10+(.10*249 minutes)
$10+$24.9=$34.9
Plan B: $15+(.08*249 minutes)
$15+$19.92=$34.92
Plan A < Plan B if less than 250 minutes are used.
For X, you add three which gives you
6+3=9
And for Y, you subtract 2:
-3-2=-5
Your coordinates are (9,-5)
The perimeter of an object is found by adding all of the sides. The sides of his frame would be 2 ft, 2 ft, 1.5 ft (18 inches / 12 inches per foot = 1.5 feet), 1.5 feet. Adding these together we get a total length of 7 feet. However, he may want to use a slightly longer board to account for any errors!
