Step-by-step explanation:

Two ratios are given to us and we need to tell whether they are equivalent or not . Firstly let us say we have two ratios q:p and r:s . Here p & q are co-primes and r & s are also co-primes. Then the two ratios will be equal if and only if

q = r
p = s .

Theefore , the Ratios are ,

$\begin{cases}\tt 4 : 18 \\\tt 2:9 \end{cases}$

Here we see that the ratio 2:9 is in simplest form that is HCF of 2 & 9 is 1 . But here 4:18 is not in simplest form . HCF of 4 & 18 is not 1 it's 2 .On dividing numerator and denominator by 2 , we have ,

$\tt= \dfrac{4}{18}\\\\ = \tt \dfrac{4 \div 2}{18\div 2}\\\\ = \boxed{\orange{\tt \dfrac{2}{9}}}$

Therefore since the Ratios are equal in the simplest form . Therefore the Ratios are equal.

Answer:

22.8

Step-by-step explanation:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\20^{2} +11^{2} =x^{2} \\400+121=x^{2}\\\sqrt{521} =x\\\\or\\\\22.8 = x$

Story : A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain

1. Using a dog as narrator gives the passage a tone of —

4. According to the author, what would bring such happiness to the dogs as he describes at the end of the story?

• They helped the author’s mother find the words she used, so they especially enjoyed watching her use them.

• They knew the meaning of “supererogation” and realized they were listening to a funny joke.

• Watching and laughing as others were embarrassed vindicated their own previous embarrassment.

• They were generally happy dogs who often expressed a great deal of joy.

NEED HELP WITH THESE QUESTIONS

amm1812

For this case we must solve the following questions:

Question 1:

We should simplify the following expression:

$\frac {\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 3} {p ^ 3}} {\frac {mp} {n ^ 2}} =$

Applying double C we have:

$\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 3 * n ^ 2} {mp * p ^ 3} =$

By definition of multiplication of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and add the exponents: $\frac {m ^ 2 * n ^ 5} {m * p ^ 4} =$

Canceling common terms:

$\frac {mn ^ 5} {p ^ 4}$

Answer:

Option A

Question 2:

We should simplify the following expression:

$\frac {3xyz ^ 2} {6y ^ 4} * \frac {2y} {xz ^ 4}$

So, we have:

$\frac {3xyz ^ 2 * 2y} {6y ^ 4 * xz ^ 4} =\\\frac {6xy ^ 2z ^ 2} {6y ^ 4xz ^ 4} =$

Simplifying common terms:

$\frac {1} {y ^ 2z ^ 2}$

Answer:

Option D

Question 3:

We factor the following expressions to rewrite the experience:

$r ^ 2 + 7r + 10$ : We look for two numbers that multiplied give 10 and added 7:

$(r + 5) (r + 2)$

$r ^ 2-5r-50:$ We look for two numbers that multiplied give -50 and added -5:

$(r-10) (r + 5)$

$3r-30 = 3 (r-10)$

Rewriting the given expression we have:

$\frac {(r + 5) (r + 2) * 3 (r-10)} {3 (r-10) (r + 5)} =$

We simplify common terms in the numerator and denominator we have:

$(r + 2)$

Answer:

Option D
