Question

1. white socks to brown socks

2. blue socks to nonblue socks
3. black socks to all of the socks
4. Find two ratios equivalent to the ratio in Exercise 1.

Color of socks
white black blue brown
Number of socks
8 64 5

Answer 1

8 White
6 Black
4 Blue
5 Brown
Total=8+6+4+5=23

1. White to brown = 8:5
2. Blue to non-blue =4:(23-4) = 4:19
3. Black to all = 6 : 23
4. Ratios equivalent to Q1, 8:5
Multiply ratio by integer factors:
2(8:5)=16:10
3(8:5)=24:15
4(8:5)=32:20
etc.

Answer 2

Color of socks Number of socks

white 8

black 6

blue 4

brown 5

Total socks =
`8+6+4+5=23`

1. white socks to brown socks ratio = 8 : 5

2. blue socks to non blue socks

Non blue socks are =
`8+6+5=19`

ratio is = 4 : 19

3. black socks to all of the socks ratio = 6 : 23

4. two ratios equivalent to the ratio in Exercise 1 that is 8 : 5

Any same integer number multiplied to both 8 and 5 will give same ratios.

Like : 32 : 20 (multiplied by 4)

56 : 35 (multiplied by 7)
