Learn with an example The perimeter of the surface of a pool table is 18 feet. The pool table is 3 feet wide. How long
is it?

here's a poem i finished a while ago. i hope you like it and that it inspires you.

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.

the answer to this is:

factor 2x2+16x+24

2x2+16x+24

=2(x+2)(x+6)

answer:

2(x+2)(x+6)

hope this hmu if needed
