Question

. In a nature conservatory, the ratio of butterflies to total number of flying insects is 36 to 100.

(a) Mrs. Roberts created a table for the ratio of butterflies there are to 1, 50, and 100
flying insects. However, she forgot to check her work. You will need to check her
answers (in red) and show how you know if each answer is correct or not.
Butterflies -----------Flying Insects
0.36 1
18 50
36 100

Answer 1

well we already know that the 36:100 is correct because it is the starting amount, to check the 18:50 50 is half of the 100 insects so you would divide 36 by 2 which gives you half of 36 which is 18 so we can check off 18:50 as correct. Idk about the final one but the other two are correct.
