Question

Find the missing values in the ratio table. Then write the equivalent ratios.

Boys 6. 3. blank
girls 10 blank 50

Answer 1

3:5 , 30:50

Explanation:

Since

6 : 10 = 3 : X

Then we know

10/6 = X/3

Multiplying both sides by 3 cancels on the right

3 × (10/6) = (X/3) × 3

3 × (10/6) = X

Then solving for X

X = 3 × (10/6)

X = 5

Therefore

6 : 10 = 3 : 5
