White and black shapes are used in a game Some of the shapes are circles All the other shapes are squares The ratio of white to black shapes is 5:11 The ration of white circles to white squares is 3:7 The ratio of black circles to black squares is 3:8 What fraction of all the shapes are squares

The fraction of all shapes which are square in shape is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that , in a game , white and black shapes are used. Some of them are circle in shape and remains are square in shape.

The ratio of white to black shapes are 5:11.

Consider 5x= the number of shapes which are white in color.

11x= The number of shapes which are black in color.

There are (5x+11x)= 16x shapes in the game.

The  white circle and white square are in the ratio 3:7.

The number of white square is

The black circles and black square are in the ratio 3:8

The number of black square is

=8x

Therefore the total number of shape which are square is

The fraction of all shape are square is

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
