In a box of 36 pencils, 20 are sharpened. what is the ratio of sharpened pencils to unsharpened pencils?

Answer

Find out the ratio of sharpened pencils to unsharpened pencils .

To proof

As given

In a box of 36 pencils, 20 are sharpened

Number of unsharpened pencil = 36 -20

                                                     = 16

Now find out the ratio of sharpened pencils to unsharpened pencils .

simplify

Therefore the ratio of sharpened pencils to unsharpened pencils is 5 :4 .

Hence proved

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
