there are 10 blue bugs
and 2 red bugs
Identify the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs.
The ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs is 10:12, or simplified, 5:6.
Ruben and Claire are training to run a marathon in the spring. Ruben runs 16 miles over a 4-day period. Claire runs 12 miles over a 3-day period. Are they running at the same rate of speed? Respond "1" for yes or "2" for no.
To determine if Ruben and Claire are running at the same rate of speed, we need to calculate their average speed.
Ruben's average speed is 16 miles / 4 days = 4 miles per day.
Claire's average speed is 12 miles / 3 days = 4 miles per day.
Since Ruben and Claire have the same average speed of 4 miles per day, the answer is "1" for yes, they are running at the same rate of speed.
To identify the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs, we need to calculate the number of plain blue bugs and the total number of bugs.
Given that there are 10 blue bugs and 2 red bugs, the total number of bugs is 10 + 2 = 12 bugs.
To find the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs, we divide the number of plain blue bugs by the total number of bugs:
Ratio = Number of plain blue bugs / Total number of bugs
Ratio = 10 / 12
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
Ratio = 5 / 6
So, the ratio of plain blue bugs to the total number of bugs is 5:6.
