Describe three ways to write the ratio that compares 4 electronic devices for every 3 people.
A. 4 to 3, 3 : 4, 4/3
B. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 4/3
C. 3 to 4, 3 : 4, 3/4
D. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 3/4
The correct answer is:
A. 4 to 3, 3 : 4, 4/3
These are three equivalent ways of writing the ratio that compares 4 electronic devices for every 3 people. The first one, "4 to 3", means that for every 4 electronic devices there are 3 people. The second one, "3 : 4", means that for every 3 people there are 4 electronic devices. The third one, "4/3", is the fractional form of the ratio and means that there are 4 electronic devices for every 3 people.
