Question

In last night’s baseball game, there were 4 walks and 15 hits. Express the ratio of walks to hits, written in three different ways.

Answer 1

Three ways are 4:15, 4/15, and 4 to 15. :)

Answer 2

First let's define the variables:
w = walks
h = hits
Then, we write the ratios which can be written as:

Way 1:
(w) / (h) = (4) / (15)
(w) / (h) = (8) / (30)
(w) / (h) = (16) / (60)

Way 2:
w: h
4:15
8:30
16:60

Way 3:
w to h
4 to 15
8 to 30
16 to 60
Answer:
The three distinct ways are shown, and three equivalent expressions are shown for each way.
