In their last game, the New England Patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half, they scored three less than two times the points in the first half. What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored? Give your ratio using a colon.

In the first half, they scored 9 points.

in the second half, they scored:

-3 + 2*9 = 18 - 3 = 15 points.

The total number of points scored is 9 + 15 = 24 points.

Now we want to know:

"What is the ratio of the points scored in the second half to the total number of points scored?"

The ratio between two numbers a and b is written as:

a:b

In this case, the ratio will be:

15:24

But we should simplify this ratio, we can divide both sides by the same number and the ratio will remain unchanged.

As both numbers are multiples of 3, we can divide both sides by 3.

15/3 = 5.

24/3 = 8

Then:

15:24 = 5:8

The ratio is 5:8

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
