Write a ratio for the situation in three ways, comparing the first quantity to the second quantity.
A zoo has 19 monkeys and 10 chimpanzees.
19 to 10, 19:10, (This)
10 to 29, 10:29,
19 to 29, 19:29,
10 to 19, 10:19,
What are the answers after this please help me I’m failing this class
Agree, but we can't evaluate if we don't see the questions with your attempt to answer.
I think you're right but I'm not sure. Sorry if I'm wrong.
Sure! Here are the three ways to write the ratio for the given situation:
1) 19 to 10
2) 19:10
3) 19/10
For clarification, the second way (19:10) is using a colon to represent the ratio, and the third way (19/10) is using a fraction. These different formats can be used interchangeably when representing ratios.
Sure, I'm here to help you. Let's go through the combinations step by step.
1. 19 to 10 (19:10): This is the given ratio comparing the number of monkeys (19) to the number of chimpanzees (10).
2. 10 to 29 (10:29): This ratio compares the number of chimpanzees (10) to the total number of primates in the zoo (29), which includes both monkeys and chimpanzees.
3. 19 to 29 (19:29): This ratio compares the number of monkeys (19) to the total number of primates in the zoo (29).
4. 10 to 19 (10:19): This ratio compares the number of chimpanzees (10) to the number of monkeys (19) in the zoo.
Now, it's important to note that ratios are used to compare quantities, and there can be multiple valid ratios for a given situation. The specific ratio to use depends on what you want to compare. In this case, the first ratio (19:10) comparing the number of monkeys to the number of chimpanzees seems to be the most appropriate for the given information.
Remember, ratios are usually written in the form of "a:b" or "a to b," where "a" represents the first quantity and "b" represents the second quantity being compared.
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
