Abirthday party has 12 children and 17 balloons. if the ratio is 12 to 17, the rate can be expressed as 12 chilren 17 balloons ?

12 children per 17 balloons.

Step-by-step explanation:

The birthday party has 12 children and there is a total of 17 balloons.

So, the number of children to the number of balloons ratio is given by 12 to 17 or 12 : 17.

Now, if we want to express the relation in terms of rate, then it is expressed as 12 children per 17 balloons.

This can also be represented by children per balloon. (Answer)

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
