If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
Answer:
4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change (aka slope) is the change in y over change in x and as y goes up 4 x goes up 7 so the rate of change is 4/7
have a great day :D
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3 = 0
x = 3
x + 4 = 0
x = -4
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x = 3, -4, 2
The length in the diagram is 4/3 feet.
(4/3)/8=w/6 where w is the width.
So 4/(3×8)=w/6.
1/6=w/6 so w=1 foot or 12 inches.
No, cancellation is not a technique to reduce fractions to its lowest terms because fractions can only be divided by a similar divider
