there are 6 children playing on a playground. each child has two keychains. what is the ratio of children to keychains?
A 6:6
B 6:1
C 6 to 2
D 6:12
D 6:12
To find the ratio of children to keychains, we need to determine the total number of keychains and the total number of children.
Since each child has two keychains, the total number of keychains would be 6 children * 2 keychains/child = 12 keychains.
Therefore, the ratio of children to keychains is D 6:12, indicating that for every 6 children, there are 12 keychains.
To find the ratio of children to keychains, we need to divide the number of children by the number of keychains.
In this case, we have 6 children, each with 2 keychains. So, the total number of keychains is 6 × 2 = 12.
Therefore, the ratio of children to keychains is 6:12, which can be simplified to 1:2.
So, the correct answer is D) 6:12.
