Step-by-step explanation:

So bassically, when they say the word "to" in a ratio it means something to something right? So bassically, if it is boys to girls, we clearly know that there are 40 boys and 16 girls. So 40 boys to 16 girls, it would look like this

40:16. But thats not all! We can simplify this ratio. Think of it as a fraction that you are reducing to the minimum amount. The answers would be

40:16

20:8

10:4

5:2

*cannot be simplified any further*

Cheers!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. P = (width + lengh) * 2 = (23 + 10) * 2 = 33 * 2 = 66

A = width * lengh = 23 * 10 = 230

2. width = 7

P = (width + lengh) * 2 = ( 7 + 9) * 2 = 16 * 2 = 32

Answer:

It will take 60 seconds for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One sign lights up every 10 seconds

One sign lights up every 12 seconds

They have just lit up at the same time.

To find in how many seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again.

Solution:

In order to find the time in seconds will it take for the signs to light up at the same time again, we need to find the least common multiple of the the times for which the given signs light up.

The numbers are 10 and 12.

To find the LCM, we will list the multiples of each and check the least common multiple.

The multiples of 10 and 12 are :

$10\rightarrow 10,20,30,40,50,60,70$
