Question

How do I do ratios? please tell me by 8:30

Answer 1

we obtain the ratios dividing one value by another

1.

`\frac{\text{Vowels}}{\text{consonants}}`

the number of vowels are 5 and the consonants are 21

so the ratio is

`(5)/(21)\longrightarrow5\colon21`

the unit ratio is

`((5)/(21))/(1)=(0.238)/(1)=0.238`

2.

to determine if two ratios are equivalent we must simplify the fractions

`(12)/(16)=(6)/(8)=(3)/(4)`
`(72)/(96)=(36)/(48)=(18)/(24)=(9)/(12)=(3)/(4)`

the ratios are equivalent because the two represent 3/4

the unit ratio of 3/4 is

`((3)/(4))/(1)=(0.75)/(1)=0.75`
