Answer:
122/3 or 40.666667
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is basically finding the quotient of two numbers. If you want to find the ratio of horses to cows, divide the number of horses to that of cows.
Ratio = 18/27
When expressing it to its simplest form, make sure it is reduced. 18 and 27 are both factors of 9. So,
Ratio = 9*2/9*3
Cancelling out 9, the ratio at its simplest form is: <em>2/3</em>
Since it is a rectangular prism, the front and back are the same. the sides are the same and the top and bottom are the same. You would find the area of the front and back first. Since they both have the same measurements, you can find the area of one of the faces and multiply by 2.
A=BH
A= 3x5
A=15
15x2=30
So the front and back's area is 30. Now you find the area of both sides. They are both rectangle so the formula is A=BH.
A=BH
A=3x5
A=15
15x2=30
Now you find the area of the top and bottom. It is also a rectangle so you will use the same formula.
A=BH
A=3x3
A=9
9x2=18
Finally, you add all these measurements together adn that is the surface area.
This surface area of this rectangle prism is 78.
Yes it is already simplified because there is nothing else that you are able to do to it.
