<span>The proportion of clay uses is 3/8 (Three Eighths). That is 3 lbs. of clay to every 8 vases. This is determined by the first given proportion 3 lbs./8 vases and confirmed by the second. To prove that is the case you divide the second ration by the first numerator:
9 divided by 3 = 3 and 24 divided by 3 = 8. So the proportion for 9/24 is still 3/8. This can also be used to increase the number of vases made. For example if 40 vases need to be made:
we divide 40 by the numerator 8 = 5. So we need 5 portions of 3 to make 40 vases. 5 times 3 = 15. So the 15 lbs. of clay is needed for 40 vases.</span>
Answer:
3(x+6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Parenthesis after a number typically means multiply, so 3 times the sum of an unspecified number (x), plus 6 would be 3 (x+6)
The answer I believe is 3:4 but I'm not for sure
For the manager's grocery store, the average mean to the nearest cent is 37.6 while the competitor's store has an average of 48.53. However, the store that has a mean that better represents its data is the first store, the manager's store, because the values are more close to the mean as compared to the other store which has extreme values far from the mean or scattered from the mean.
