Answers

Answer 1

Answer: A ratio compares two quantities.

penguins = 8
whales = 4

8:4 , now simplify

8/4 = 2
4/4 = 1

2:1 is the ratio.

Final answer: 2:1

Answer 2

Answer: A ratio compares 2 or more quantities. But when working with ratios you have to be VERY careful. What ever says to come in the ratio 1st it HAS to come first, cause if you change the order it will mess the ratio up. A ratio can be written in 3 ways:-

a to b
a:b
$(a)/(b)$

Now lets look at the information we have:-

10 - dolphins
8 - penguins
4 - whales

Now we need to find the ratio of penguins to whales. So it would look like this:-

penguins: whales
penguins to whales
$(penguins )/(whales)$

Penguins:- 8
Whales:- 4

So, the ratio of penguins to whales would look like:-

8 to 4
8:4
$(8)/(4)$

Now we will simply $(8)/(4)$

8 ÷ 4 = 2
4 ÷ 4 = 1

So, our new simplified ratio would be:- 2 to 1. 2:1. $(2)/(1)$ .

Lexi has a roll of shelf paper that is 800 cm long.she wants to cut the paper int i-m strips to line the shelves in her pantry.how 1-meter strips can she cut?

Answers

she can cut 8 strips

Ok, so Lexi has an 800 cm long roll of paper. And she needs to cut the paper into 1 meter strips. We know that 800 centimeters would need to be converted to meters in order to see how many 1 meter strips can be made from this roll of paper.

100 cm = 1 m

800 cm = 8 m

Since her roll is 8 m long, she should be able to make 8 strips to line the shelf in her pantry.

It would be 18 ft by 12 ft because P=L+L+W+W, which 18+18 is 36 and 12plus 12 is 24. 24 and 36 ft combined is 60 ft.

Hello.
2.7(6.2)= 16.74
-9.3(1.2)=11.16
6.2(9.3)=57.66
1.2(2.7)=3.24

Then we do the operation

16.74-11.16+57.66-3.24=60

So the answer is 60.
