Josiah and Elijah are going on a camping tripTogether 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? (1 point)
Elijah brought 4 shirts and 6 pants because 10 - 6 = <<10-6=4>>4
The ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 6/4 = <<6/4=1.5>>1.5
its a ratio
Apologies for the confusion. The ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 6:4, which can be simplified to 3:2.
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many shirts and pants Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 6 shirts and 4 pants.
Therefore, Josiah brought 6 - 6 = 0 shirts less than the total.
And Josiah brought 4 - 6 = 2 pants less than the total.
Since they brought a total of 10 shirts and 6 pants, and Josiah brought 0 shirts less and 2 pants less, we can use this information to figure out how many shirts and pants Elijah brought:
Elijah brought 10 - 0 = 10 shirts.
Elijah brought 6 - 2 = 4 pants.
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 4/10 or simplified as 2/5.
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to determine how many shirts and pants Elijah brought.
We know that Josiah brought a total of 6 shirts and 4 pants. Therefore, Elijah must have brought (10 total shirts - 6 Josiah's shirts) = 4 shirts.
Since Josiah brought a total of 6 pants, Elijah must have brought (6 total pants - 4 Josiah's pants) = 2 pants.
Now, we can calculate the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts.
Pants:Shirts = 2:4
However, ratios are typically simplified to their simplest form. In this case, we can divide both the pants and shirts values by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2.
So, the simplified ratio is:
Pants:Shirts = 1:2
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 1:2.
