robin is making bows to sell at her mothers yard sale she will use 3/4 foot of a ribbon and 2/3 of blue ribbon what is the ratio of the length of the blue ribbon to the red ribbon explain how its 2/3 to 3/4
Steve basically crossed multiplied 2/3 and 3/4.
1.
can someone please explain steve's answer I don't get it!!!!!!!!!
To find the ratio of the length of the blue ribbon to the red ribbon, we need to determine the lengths of each ribbon first.
Given that Robin will use 3/4 foot of a ribbon and 2/3 of blue ribbon, let's calculate the lengths:
To find the length of the red ribbon, we can subtract 2/3 from the total ribbon length of 3/4 foot.
Length of red ribbon = Total ribbon length - Length of blue ribbon
Length of red ribbon = 3/4 foot - 2/3 foot
To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 12. Converting the fractions to have a common denominator:
Length of red ribbon = (9/12) foot - (8/12) foot
Length of red ribbon = 1/12 foot
Now we know that the length of the red ribbon is 1/12 foot.
To find the ratio of the length of the blue ribbon to the red ribbon, we can divide the length of the blue ribbon by the length of the red ribbon:
Ratio = Length of blue ribbon / Length of red ribbon
Ratio = (2/3 foot) / (1/12 foot)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Ratio = (2/3 foot) * (12/1 foot)
Ratio = (2 * 12) / (3 * 1)
Ratio = 24 / 3
Ratio = 8
Therefore, the ratio of the length of the blue ribbon to the red ribbon is 8:1.
how
blue:red = (2/3):(3/4) = 2/3 * 4/3 = 8/9
after all, 2/3 = 8/12 and 3/4 = 9/12
