One group of children has 15 red blocks and 45 green blocks. Another group of children has 30 red blocks and 90 green blocks. Which proportion correctly describes the relative amounts of each color?(1 point)
Responses
1545 = 9030
Start Fraction 15 over 45 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 90 over 30 End Fraction
1545
Start Fraction 15 over 45 End Fraction
13
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction
1545 = 3090
To find the correct proportion that describes the relative amounts of each color, we need to compare the number of red blocks to the number of green blocks in each group.
Let's calculate the proportion for each group:
Group 1:
Number of red blocks: 15
Number of green blocks: 45
Group 2:
Number of red blocks: 30
Number of green blocks: 90
To form a proportion, we need to compare the number of red blocks to the number of green blocks in each group. Therefore, the proportion can be written as:
Start Fraction 15 over 45 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 30 over 90 End Fraction
Now, let's simplify the proportion to its simplest form:
15 divided by 15 is equal to 1
45 divided by 15 is equal to 3
So, the simplified proportion is:
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction
Therefore, the correct proportion that describes the relative amounts of each color is:
13
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction
Start Fraction 15 over 45 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 90 over 30 End Fraction
The correct proportion that describes the relative amounts of each color is:
Start Fraction 15 over 45 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 90 over 30 End Fraction
