try this one

Answer 9

im almost positive it will work

Answer 10

Page 338 #2

Answer 11

IsTim is right. In order to simplify this ratio you have to divide both sides by six so it gives you a 1:x ratio.

Also when I click that link it goes to a geometry book...page 338 is about trapezoids..

Answer 12

Raspberry is correct.

Answer 13

i m

Answer 14

i ment 368

Answer 15

A funny one you are. Have you looked through the provided examples? Those help me when I do these questions.

Answer 16

That question isn't multiple choice. So you should just simplify it like IsTim and I mentioned above and you should get the right answer.

Answer 17

Actually, it doesn't seem that the examples are provided...

Answer 18

yeah i did but im confused,,,,,,,,,

Answer 19

I'm confused on this matter too...

Answer 20

Selena what are you confused about?

Answer 21

@ras my teacher provides the multiple choice to them

Answer 22

Well, both of my ways to get ratios isn't working here.

Answer 23

1. Add up the values, and then divide then by a provided number to get one side. Subtract that divided number from the total, and apply to other side.
2. Divide both sides by a number so that the value of the lowest number becomes 1.

Answer 24

how do you do that with a number like 6

Answer 25

besides all of the answer options are highter than 185

Answer 26

besides all of the answer options are highter than 185

Answer 27

You divide both sides by 6. So then the ratio becomes 1:185/6.
I don't think your teacher gave the right multiple choice answers in this case. Are you positive they go with this question?

Answer 28

yes, im positive

Answer 29

OH I KNOW WHY. It is because it is in inches. So you should convert 6 inches to feet first.

Answer 30

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Answer 31

How do i do that?

Answer 32

Well how many inches are in a foot?

Answer 33

12

Answer 34

I feel so stupid now.

Answer 35

So then 6/12 = ?
Then you should divide both sides of the ratio by the smallest number.

Answer 36

2 ft?

Answer 37

No, 6 divided by 12.

Answer 38

0.5?

Answer 39

Yep, so then what is your ratio?
It should be the height of tower:height of model tower.

Answer 40

so C?

Answer 41

Yep you got it!

Answer 42

phew, okay thanks
