Josiah and Elijah are going on a camping trip. Together they brought a total of 10 shirts and 6 pants. Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants. What is the ratio of Elijah’s pants to shirts?
A. 10/6
B. 4/6
C. 2/4
D. 6/4
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many shirts and pants Elijah brought.
Let's find out how many shirts Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 6 shirts and Elijah and Josiah brought a total of 10 shirts.
So, Elijah brought 10 - 6 = <<10-6=4>>4 shirts.
Now let's find out how many pants Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 4 pants and Elijah and Josiah brought a total of 6 pants.
So, Elijah brought 6 - 4 = <<6-4=2>>2 pants.
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 2/4.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/4.
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many shirts and pants he brought.
We know that Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants, totaling 10 shirts and 6 pants.
To find out how many shirts and pants Elijah brought, we subtract Josiah's shirts and pants from the total:
Total shirts - Josiah's shirts = Elijah's shirts
10 shirts - 6 shirts = 4 shirts
Total pants - Josiah's pants = Elijah's pants
6 pants - 4 pants = 2 pants
So, Elijah brought 4 shirts and 2 pants.
Now we can determine the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts:
Ratio = Elijah's pants / Elijah's shirts
Ratio = 2 pants / 4 shirts
Simplifying the ratio by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, we get:
Ratio = 1/2
Therefore, the correct answer is option C. 2/4.
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many pants and shirts he brought.
We are given that Josiah and Elijah brought a total of 10 shirts and 6 pants. Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants. To find out how many shirts and pants Elijah brought, we subtract Josiah's clothes from the total:
Total shirts - Josiah's shirts = Elijah's shirts
10 shirts - 6 shirts = 4 shirts
Total pants - Josiah's pants = Elijah's pants
6 pants - 4 pants = 2 pants
So, Elijah brought 4 shirts and 2 pants.
The ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 2/4, which simplifies to 1/2.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2/4.
