Ratios

A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.

Trigonometric Ratios

Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.

Textbook Question

Chapter 9.1, Problem 34DE

Practical Applications. Round to the nearest tenth unless otherwise directed.

Agriculture Consider the following information about barley moving along a grain conveyor:

The conveyor moves at a speed of 250 ft/min.
The conveyor belt is 18 in. wide, and barley is piled on the full width of the belt at an average depth of 6 in.
Barley has a density of approximately 38.4 lb/cu ft.
One bushel of barley weighs 48 lb.

How many bushels of barley does the grain conveyor unload in an hour? (Round to the nearest bushel.)
