Are the two ratios that make up a proportion always, sometimes, or never equivalent

Mathematics

Answer:

Always

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, when we say that two ratios form a proportion, we mean that the two ratios are equal.

Ex: Ratios and Proportions - Proportions - In Depth. A proportion is simply a statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d. The following proportion is read as "twenty is to twenty-five as four is to five."

A proportion is two ratios which have been set equal to each other; a proportion is an equation that can be solved. When I say that a proportion is two ratios that are equal to each other, I mean this in the sense of two fractions being equal to each other. For instance, 105 equals 21 .

A theater has 20 rows of chairs. The first row has 16 chairs, the second has 18, the third has 20, and so on. In total, the thea
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>This is an arithmetic progression, i.e. 16,18,20,22,24,26,28.......... where 16 is the number of people seats in 1st row, 18 seats in second row, 20 seats in third row and so on. The Total number of seats in 20 rows = n/2{2a+(n-1)d}. Here, d = 2 , n =20, a = 16. Thus, Sum = 10 {32+ 19*2} = 10 {70} = 700 seats in total. </span>

Answer:

10m x 15m

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given some information.

1. The area of the garden: A₁ = 150m²

2. The area of the path: A₂ = 186m²

3. The width of the path: 3m

If the garden has width w and length l, the area of the garden is:

(1) A₁ = l * w

The area of the path is given by:

(2) A₂ = 3l + 3l + 3w + 3w + 4*3*3 = 6l + 6w + 36

Multiplying (2) with l gives:

(3) A₂l = 6l² + 6lw + 36l

Replacing l*w in (3) with A₁ from (1):

(4) A₂l = 6l² + 6A₁ + 36l

Combining:

(5) 6l² + (36 - A₂)l +6A₁ = 0

Simplifying:

(6) l² - 25l + 150 = 0

This equation can be factored:

(7) (l - 10)*(l - 15) = 0

Solving for l we get 2 solutions:

l₁ = 10, l₂ = 15

Using (1) to find w:

w₁ = 15, w₂ = 10

The two solutions are equivalent. The garden has dimensions 10m and 15m.
