Question

Write a ratio for the situation in three ways comparing the first quantity to the second quantity A zoo has 14 monkeys and 18 chimpanzee

Answer 1

14 : 18, 14 to 18, 14/18

You can also use the reduced ratio.

7 : 9, 7 to 9, 7/9

Answer 2

`(14)/(18)`,
`(7)/(9)`,
`(28)/(36)`

Explanation:

A ratio is a quantified relation between two magnitudes. In other words, it's a quotient between two numbers.

So, in this case, the problem is asking to represents the situation as ratios.

A zoo has 14 monkeys and 18 chimpanzee. A ratio that represents this would be

`(14)/(18)`

Another two ratios could be found by multiplyig or dividing a factor to each par of the initial ratio

`(7)/(9)`,
`(28)/(36)`

Therefore, three ways to compare the given magnitudes are

`(14)/(18)`,
`(7)/(9)`,
`(28)/(36)`
