Question

Melissa’s mom is making waffles and pancakes for a class party. The ratio of students who want waffles to pancakes is 4:6. Which of the following tape diagrams represent the given ratio? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

See the attachments

Explanation:

To represent the ratio 4 : 6, the diagram needs to show 4 of some unit against 6 of the same unit. (Each unit represents the same number of students.) The attached diagram is the only one that does that.

_____

The ratio can be reduced to 2 : 3, which the second diagram shows. Since you're asked to choose all that apply, I'd say both the 2nd and 3rd diagrams should be chosen.
