Question

Elena is conducting a study about the effects of toxins in the water on the hormones of fish. Elena surveys 350350 male fish in a river and finds that 150150 of the male fish have egg cells growing inside them. According to Elena's survey, what is the ratio of male fish with egg cells to male fish without egg cells in the river?

Answer 1

1-3.*93763÷72583.9370000.99990

Answer 2

We are given:

Number of male fishes surveyed by Elena in a river = 350

Number of male fishes with eggs growing inside them = 150

Therefore the number of male fishes without eggs = 350 - 150 = 200

Now the ratio of male fish with egg cells to male fish without egg cells in the river is:

`(150)/(200)=(3)/(4)`

Therefore, the ratio of male fish with egg cells to male fish without egg cells in the river is
`(3)/(4)`
