If 2 busses are needed t transport 75 students to the aquarium and 8 busses can transport 300 students to the aquarium which proportion describes the relationship between the numbers of busses ad te number of students d not reduce te ratios to their lowest terms
1 point
The proportion that describes the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students without reducing the ratios to their lowest terms is:
2/75 = 8/300
To find the proportion that describes the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students, we can set up a ratio.
Let x be the number of buses needed to transport 75 students.
The ratio of the number of buses to the number of students is:
x/75
We are also given that 8 buses can transport 300 students. So the ratio is:
8/300
Therefore, the proportion that describes the relationship between the numbers of buses and the number of students is:
x/75 = 8/300
To find the correct proportion that describes the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students, we need to compare the ratios.
Given that 2 buses are needed to transport 75 students, we can set up the ratio as follows:
(Number of buses) : (Number of students) = 2 : 75
Similarly, for 8 buses transporting 300 students, the ratio can be set up as:
(Number of buses) : (Number of students) = 8 : 300
Now, to find the proportion that describes the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students, we can set up the equation:
2/75 = 8/300
To find the correct proportion, we need to cross-multiply and solve for the missing value.
Cross-multiplying the equation, we get:
2 x 300 = 8 x 75
600 = 600
Therefore, the correct proportion that describes the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students is:
2 : 75 = 8 : 300
