9 shapes to 6 triangles
9 shapes to 6 triangles
6 triangles to 9 shapes
6 triangles to 9 shapes
6 triangles to 3 circles
6 triangles to 3 circles
The correct description of the ratio 6:3 is "6 triangles to 3 circles."
To determine whether the given ratio 6:3 is correct, we need to understand what the ratio represents. The format of a ratio is "a:b" where a and b represent two quantities or values.
In this case, the ratio 6:3 means that there are 6 of one thing (let's say triangles) for every 3 of another thing (let's say shapes).
Let's evaluate the given options:
1. 3/6: This fraction represents the ratio of 3 to 6, which is the reverse of the given ratio. This is not the correct representation.
2. 9 shapes to 6 triangles: This option suggests that there are 9 shapes for every 6 triangles. It does not match the given ratio of 6:3, so this is not the correct description.
3. 6 triangles to 9 shapes: This option matches the given ratio of 6:3, stating that there are 6 triangles for every 3 shapes. Therefore, this is the correct description of the ratio 6:3.
4. 6 triangles to 3 circles: This option does not match the given ratio of 6:3. It relates triangles to circles, which is different from the given ratio.
Therefore, the correct description of the ratio 6:3 is "6 triangles to 3 shapes."

The correct ratio of children to keychains in this scenario is 6:12, or a ratio of 6 to 12. Each child has 2 keychains, so if there are 6 children, the total number of keychains is 6 multiplied by 2, which equals 12.

The part-to-part ratio for phones to televisions is 23/17, or "Start Fraction 23 over 17 End Fraction". This ratio is obtained by dividing the number of phones (23) by the number of televisions (17).

The whole-to-part ratio for phones and televisions is 40 to 53, or "40 to 53". This ratio is obtained by considering the total number of items sold (23 phones + 13 stereos + 17 televisions = 53) as the whole and comparing it to the number of televisions (17) as the part.
