my geometry problem set says
"find the ratio of CG : CB"
CG=6.3 and CB=19
so to find the ratio i would divide the 19 by 6.3 (we have to round so it would be a 3:1 ratio) or would it be the other way around? i think it's the 19/6.3 but i'm not sure...
To find the ratio of CG to CB, you need to divide the length of CG by the length of CB. In this case, CG is given as 6.3 and CB is given as 19.
Ratio = CG / CB
Plugging in the values, the ratio would be:
Ratio = 6.3 / 19
To simplify this ratio, you can either leave it as a decimal or simplify it into a fraction. In this case, if you divide 6.3 by 19, you get approximately 0.33.
So the ratio of CG to CB is approximately 0.33, which means CG is approximately 0.33 times the length of CB.
Alternatively, you can express the ratio as a fraction by dividing both 6.3 and 19 by their greatest common divisor, which is 0.1. So the simplified fraction would be:
Ratio = (6.3 / 0.1) / (19 / 0.1)
= 63 / 190
Thus, the simplified ratio of CG to CB is 63:190, which is approximately equivalent to 1:3.016.
