snowflake0531:

do one question at a time-

stffuemilyy:

i'm new here so help me out i don't know what to do here so

R3al:

Like on QuestioneCove or the problem

snowflake0531:

okay, well, you know the pepper pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 2 : 3 : 4. so, what fraction of the whole thing are onions

snowflake0531:

to find the total thing add, the parts together 2+3 +4 = 9 and since it's pepper, onion tomato,onion is the middle on, so 3 so onions take up 3/9 which simplifies to....... of the whole thing

stffuemilyy:

I'm sorry-

snowflake0531:

no, just what does 3/9 simplify to

stffuemilyy:

1/3?

snowflake0531:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @stffuemilyy 1/3? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes so onions take up 1/3 of the 108 cups of salsa so, multiply 1/3 with 108

stffuemilyy:

so it is 36, thank you. I'm forgetting everything geometry and it hard to try to remember. Im about to be in 11th-

snowflake0531:

kk just as a btw, 11th grade trig is horrible

stffuemilyy:

aw man. im already failing geo bc i can't remember some stuff.

snowflake0531:

ye, geometry was also painful, hate the proofs

stffuemilyy:

dang

snowflake0531:

i recommend just writing the similar ones down that as a group and then just write all the stuff down lmao i have a whole notebook of proofs and theorems loll
