Gershona is babysitting her brothers. To keep them occupied, she lets them put stickers into sticker books. Joshua puts 110 stickers on 22 pages. Mike puts 100 stickers on 25 pages.
Select all statements that are true about these ratios.
a) Mike's sticker book has 5 stickers per page.
b) Mike's sticker book has 4 stickers per page.
c) Joshua's sticker book has 5 stickers per page.
d) Joshua's sticker book has 1 sticker for every 5 pages.
e) Joshua's sticker book has more stickers per page than Mike's sticker book does.
To determine if a is true or false, you can divide 100/25. Whatever that equals is how many stickers are on each page of Mike's sticker book.
To determine it b is true or false, you can divide 100/25. Whatever that equals is how many stickers are on each page of Mike's sticker book.
To determine if c is true or false, you can divide 110/22. Whatever that equals is how many stickers are on each page of Joshua's sticker book.
We can obviously tell that Joshua's sticker book does not have 1 sticker for every 5 pages as this is just common sense.
To determine if e is true or false, you just have to determine how many stickers are on each page of both of their books and if Joshua's is more, then this is true.
I hope this helped!!!
To determine which statements are true about these ratios, we need to calculate the ratios for both Joshua and Mike's sticker books.
To find the ratio of stickers per page for Joshua, we divide the number of stickers he puts in the book (110) by the number of pages (22):
Joshua's ratio = 110 stickers / 22 pages = 5 stickers per page
Similarly, to find the ratio of stickers per page for Mike, we divide the number of stickers he puts in the book (100) by the number of pages (25):
Mike's ratio = 100 stickers / 25 pages = 4 stickers per page
Now we can analyze the statements:
a) Mike's sticker book has 5 stickers per page.
This statement is false since we calculated that Mike's sticker book has 4 stickers per page.
b) Mike's sticker book has 4 stickers per page.
This statement is true because we calculated that Mike's sticker book has 4 stickers per page.
c) Joshua's sticker book has 5 stickers per page.
This statement is true because we calculated that Joshua's sticker book has 5 stickers per page.
d) Joshua's sticker book has 1 sticker for every 5 pages.
This statement is false because Joshua's sticker book has 5 stickers per page, not 1 sticker for every 5 pages.
e) Joshua's sticker book has more stickers per page than Mike's sticker book does.
This statement is true because we calculated that Joshua's sticker book has 5 stickers per page, while Mike's sticker book has 4 stickers per page.
Therefore, the true statements are (b), (c), and (e).
