An equivalent ratio to the tape diagram shown is___ to___ (1) Is__
(A) 9
(B) 8
(C) 7

(2) To__
(A) 16
(B) 20
(C) 17

(B), (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

2 red boxes for 4 blue boxes, so any multiple of these 2. (multiply 2 red boxes by 2 to get 4 blue boxes)

3 to 6, 4 to 8, 5 to 10, 6 to 12, etc could also be answers.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
