What is a equivalent ratio of 16:18

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

Hurry and answer this! circle x with a radius of 6 units and circle y with a radius of 2 units are shown which steps would prove the circles similar? translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 4. translate the circles so they share a common center point, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3. translate the circles so the center of one circle rests on the edge of the other circle, and dilate circle y by a scale factor of 3

Asmall business produces and sells balls. the fixed costs are $20 and each ball costs $4.32 to produce. each ball sells for $8.32. write the equations for the total cost, c, and the revenue, r, then use the graphing method to determine how many balls must be sold to break even.
