The ratio of petunias to geraniums in the green house was 15 to 2. The combined number of of petunias and geraniums was 1020. How many geraniums were in the green house

136

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 1020 by 15 = 68. 68 x 2 is 136

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl

let m = monomial

let t = trinomial

so, m times t = t.

monomial times a trinomial = another trinomial.
