Question

Find the common ratio between 3.05,3.13,2.18 and show the steps please!

Answer 1

Help?

Answer 2

I have to stare at this for awhile.

You have a common ratio that goes up and then down? Is that possible?

Answer 3

Ya.. I had to drop 3 different kinds of balls at 6 foot and measure their heights. And a question is: what is the common ratio

Answer 4

Hmmm...I'm not entirely sure that you can build a ratiometric relationship between dissimilar data.

But I could easily be out of my league here, so I think I'll wait for someone else to show up who knows more than I do. :-)

Answer 5

And I also had to graph them.. So i droped it at 6 ft, 1 ft away from the wall (1,6) and the X gets bigger because the more it keeps bouncing, the further right it bounes.. but it doesnt bounce as high each time; so the Y is getting smaller becasue its not going as high

Answer 6

Okay, the data recorded for each ball would certainly have a ratiometric relationship.

A given ball will bounce over time with decreasing amplitude but increasing frequency.

Answer 7

What..? I'm so stupid with math.. just saying lol

Answer 8

What are the 3 data you listed above?

Answer 9

I found the mean of the heights of all 3 balls.

Answer 10

Can you see the file i attatched?

Answer 11

What kind of file is that?

Answer 12

paint lol

Answer 13

i screen shot my GeoGbra graph thing I did.

Answer 14

Hold on, lemme look at it with a hex editor and see if I can figure out its signature...

Answer 15

okkk

Answer 16

Got it...it's a BMP file.

Answer 17

Like I said; All I had to do was get 3 differnt types of balls. Drop them from the same distance; record how high they went, and how far they went and graph them. thats it' and now i have to find the common ratio

Answer 18

Like I said, I think I may be out of my league here.

But I'll repost your image file so that others can see it.

Answer 19

waa :(

Answer 20

I feel the same way... :(

Answer 21

@mathslover are you skilled at common ratios? Or know anyone online who is? :-)

Answer 22

without knowing what you are comparing, a ratio would be difficult to pull out of thin air.

a ratio is a comparison between two or more properties. perhaps: size:duration of bounce ....

Answer 23

Yeah, I'm not at all sure how to approach this.

If you want to see the data she's trying to work from, look at the "x.jpg" image I posted above.

Answer 24

i looked at it, but we still need to know what properties we are comparing in order to be able to determine what is meant by "a common ratio"

Answer 25

so what exactly do you need?
