Need to write ratio 3 different ways.
1. 6 pencils to 4 erasers
ANSWER= 6/4, 6 to 4, 6:4
Need to write an equivalent ratio for each.
1. 9/36
ANSWER= 1/4, 9 to 36, 9:36
Right.
To write a ratio, you need to compare two quantities. In this case, we have 6 pencils and 4 erasers.
So, we can write the ratio in three different ways:
1. Fraction: 6/4
This is the most common way to represent a ratio, where the numerator (6) represents the number of pencils and the denominator (4) represents the number of erasers.
2. Word form: 6 to 4
In this form, we simply write the number of pencils followed by the word "to" and then the number of erasers.
3. Colon form: 6:4
In this form, we use a colon to separate the number of pencils and erasers.
Now, let's move on to writing an equivalent ratio for the given ratio of 9/36.
To find an equivalent ratio, we need to multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number.
Let's divide both 9 and 36 by 9:
9/9 = 1
36/9 = 4
So, an equivalent ratio for 9/36 can be written as:
1/4, 9 to 36, or 9:36.
