Do the ratios 18 7 and 2 1 form a proportion?

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]2 years ago
5 0

Hi!

There are a few ways we can do this. The first one is this:

The ratios 18:7 and 2:1 can be represented as fractions: \frac{18}{7} and \frac{2}{1}

<em>To see if they are proportions, we can put the fractions in their simplest form and see if they are equal. However, they are already simplified, and we can see that they are </em><u><em>not equal</em></u>.

<em>Therefore they are not proportions.</em>

<em></em>

The second way we can see is to use cross products. Once again we'll put them as fractions, except we'll set them side by side, like so:

\frac{18}{7}  \frac{2}{1}

<em>To see if they are proportions, we simply multiply the diagonals. These would be 18 x 1 and 7 x 2 which equals 18 and 14. These are not equal.</em>

<em />

<em>Therefore they are not proportions.</em>

<em />

Hope this helps! Have a great day! Let me know if you need any other help :D

A standard letter-sized piece of paper has a length and width of 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.

Area = Length x width

So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.

So we have

              \texttt{Area after n folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{\texttt{number of folds}}}

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²

Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is

Number of folds = 2

\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{2}}\\\\\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{93.5}{4}=23.375inch^2

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Find the volume of this sphere.<br> Use 3 for TT.<br> V [?]in3<br> V = Tr3<br> 8 in
frutty [35]

Answer:

The volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by:

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

Where:

r: is the radius = 8 in

Having the radius and by using 3 for π, the volume is:

V = \frac{4}{3}*3 (8 in)^{3} = 2048 in^{3}

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 2048 in³.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following statements is true
Tresset [83]
Hello There!

The first statement is incorrect as congruent angles have the same measure but it doesn't have to 45°. It can be any value.
The second one is also incorrect. Congruent angles have the same measure but don't always total to 180° (which is what supplementary means). It would only be true if they are congruent right angles.
The third one is also incorrect as they don't always total to 90° either (Which is what complementary means). 
The fourth one is correct, this is because congruent angles are simply angles with the same measure.

In short, you're answer is 4. Congruent angles always have the same measure. 


Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
