Question

Robin is making bows to sell at her mother's yard sale. She will use 3/4 foot of red ribbon and 2/3 foot of blue ribbon to make each bow. What is the ratio of the length of red ribbon to blue ribbon written as a unit rate?

Answer 1

Red Ribbon : Blue Ribbon


`(3)/(4) : (2)/(3)`


`(3 * 3)/(4 * 3) : (2 * 4)/(3 * 4)`


`(9)/(12) : (8)/(12)`


`9 : 8`


`1 : (8)/(9)`
