Write 1.5 : 6 as a whole number ratio in it's simplest from.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Olenka [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: 1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation: Change values to whole numbers.

Convert any decimal numbers to integers by multiplying both sides by 101 = 10 to eliminate all, 1, decimal places.

We then have:

1.5 : 6 = 15 : 60

Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 15 and 60 is 15

Divide both terms by the GCF, 15:

15 ÷ 15 = 1

60 ÷ 15 = 4

The ratio 15 : 60 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 15 :

15 : 60 = 1 : 4

Therefore:

1.5 : 6 = 1 : 4

Points A,B, and C are collinear. Points M and N are the midpoints of segments AB and AC. Prove that BC = 2MN
irinina [24]
Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

N the diagram, and are horizontal lines and is a vertical line segment. If FB : FC = 4 : 3, what are the coordinates of point D?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
<span>Given the diagram, where AB and EF are horizontal lines and CB is a vertical line segment. Given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, From the diagram, the coordinate of A is (-10, -8) and the coordinate of C is (-3. -1). We can also see that the coordinate of B is (-3, -8) (since CB is a vertical line means that B is the same x-value as C and AB is a horizontal line means that B is the same y-value as A) Recall that the coordinate of a point dividing a line segment in the ratio m:n is given by (x1 + m/(m+n) (x2 - x1), y1 + m/(m+n) (y2 - y1)) Thus, since FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point F divides the line segment BC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of F is given by (-3 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-3)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-3 + 4/7 (0), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-3, -4). Also, given that FB : FC = 4 : 3, this means that point D divides the line segment AC in the ratio 4 : 3. Thus, the coordinate of D is given by (-10 + 4/(4+3) (-3 - (-10)), -8 + 4/(4+3) (-1 - (-8))) = (-10 + 4/7 (7), -8 + 4/7 (7)) = (-6, -4). Therefore, the coordinates of point D is (-6, -4).</span>

Three angles of an irregular octagon are 100 degrees, 120 degrees, and 140 degrees. The remaining angles are congruent. Find the
STatiana [176]

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° × (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 8 ( octagon ), hence

sum = 180° × 6 = 1080°

let the measure of 1 congruent angle be x

Then sum the 8 angles and equate to 1080

100 + 120 + 140 + 5x = 1080

360 + 5x = 1080 ( subtract 360 from both sides )

5x = 720 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 144

Thus each of the 5 congruent angles is 144°

Match each equation to its factorized version and solution.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

24x -{6x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: 6x(4 - x) \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \ \: or \:  \: x = 4

2 {x}^{2}  + 6x = 0 \: matches \: with \: 2x(x + 3) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x =  - 3

4x -  {x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: x(4 - x) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x = 4

14x -  {7x}^{2}  = 0 \: matches \: with \: 7x(2 - x) = 0 \: and \: the \: solution \: x = 0 \: or \: x = 2
