Divide 36 books into two groups so the ratio is 5 to 7. (Use the double number line strategy)

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)


So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.


P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

Answer:

33. The sheep pen is 16 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the rhombus inside into two triangles. Each triangle has a base of 4 yards and height 4 yards.

Area of triangle: A = 0.5*b*h = 0.5(4)(4) = 8

Since there are 2, then 2*8 = 16 square yards.

The second question with the blank please
konstantin123 [22]
Usually called "half of base times height", the area of a triangle is given by the formula below.Area=ba2whereb  is the length of the base
a  is the length of the corresponding altitude

You can choose any side to be the base. It need not be the one drawn at the bottom of the triangle. The altitude must be the one corresponding to the base you choose. The altitude is the line perpendicular to the selected base from the opposite vertex.

In the figure above, one side has been chosen as the base and its corresponding altitude is shown.
