HURRY PLEASE When 5 and 6 are multiplied by the same factor, how do the ratios compare to the ratio 5:6? The ratios are equivale

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The ratios are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply both 5 and 6, the ratio stays the same.

5:6 = 10:12 = 15:18 = 20:24 etc.

You can try this by dividing the larger number by the smaller number. You'll always get 1.2 as the "relationship", or ratio, is preserved.

24/20 = 1.2

15/18 = 1.2

10/12 = 1.2

6/5 = 1.2

Prove that a line that divides two sides of a triangle proportionally is parallel to the third side. Be sure to create and name

sattari [20]

Answer:

Given: A triangle ABC and a line DE parallel to BC.

To prove: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.

Proof: Consider ΔABC and DE be the line parallel to Bc, then from ΔABC and ΔADE, we have

∠A=∠A (Common)

∠ADE=∠ABC (Corresponding angles)

Thus, by AA similarity, ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, therefore

AB/AD= AC/AE

⇒AD+DB/AD = AE+EC/AE

⇒1+DB/AD = 1+ EC/AE

⇒DB/AD = EC/AE

Therefore, a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.

⇒Therefore Proved

Hope this helps!!!

If Patricia drives at two-third of her usual speed, she covers a certain distance in one hour more than the time she takes while

zalisa [80]

Let r = usual driving rate
let t = usual driving time
We need to figure out t

The distance she covers in her usual time at her usual rate is r*t

The distance she covers in her new time at her new rate is:
(1+t)*((2/3)r)

Set this equal to each other and solve for t.

rt = (2/3)r + (2/3)rt
(1/3)rt = (2/3)r
(1/3)t = (2/3)
t = 2

So her usual time is 2 hours. (There's probably a faster way to do this)
