Celeste is making fruit baskets for a local hospital. the directions say to use 5 apples for every 6 oranges. celeste is filling her baskets with 2 apples for every 3 oranges. complete the tables to find equivalent ratios. circle two columns, one in each table, in which the number of oranges is the same.

apples 5 apples 2
oranges 6 oranges 3

A. Equivalent ratios of 5:6

We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:

10:12 , 15:18, 20:24, 25:30

B. Equivalent ratios of 2:3

We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:

4:6 , 6:9, 8:12, 10:15, 12:18

C. We have the same number of oranges at:

10:12 and 8:12

15:18 and 12:18

Like Celeste decided not to follow the directions, she's actually using less apples than expected to fill the baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check all the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Ratio that the local hospital say to Celeste to use : 5 apples for every 6 oranges

Ratio that Celeste is actually using: 2 apples for every 3 oranges

2.  Complete the tables to find equivalent ratios.

A. Equivalent ratios of 5:6

We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:

10:12 , 15:18, 20:24, 25:30

B. Equivalent ratios of 2:3

We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:

4:6 , 6:9, 8:12, 10:15, 12:18

3. Circle two columns, one in each table, in which the number of oranges is the same.

We have the same number of oranges at:

10:12 and 8:12

15:18 and 12:18

Like Celeste decided not to follow the directions, she's actually using less apples than expected to fill the baskets.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0
