Question

1.Rachel has 6 pairs of black shoes and 2 pairs of red shoes. What is the ratio of pairs of red shoes to pairs of black shoes?

A. 3:1
B. 1:3
C. 4:1
D. 1:4
2. In a probability experiment, Eric flipped a coin 42 times. The coin landed on heads 28 times. What is the ratio of heads to tails in this experiment?
A. 2/3

B. 2/1

C. 1/2

D. 2/3

Answer 1

the first one is A, because you divide both numbers by two, and make sure they are in the right order.

the answer to the second one is 2/3, because 28 divided by 42 is .66666

Answer 2

Answer: 1. B. 1:3

2. A.
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

• The ratio of m to n is written as
  `(m)/(n)`

1. Given : Rachel has 6 pairs of black shoes and 2 pairs of red shoes.

Then, the ratio of pairs of red shoes to pairs of black shoes will be :_

`\frac{\text{No. of pairs of red shoes}}{\text{No. of pairs of black shoes}}\\\\=\dffrac{2}{6}=(1)/(3)`

Which is written as 1:3.

Hence, the ratio of pairs of red shoes to pairs of black shoes = 1:3

Thus , correct option : B. 1:3

2. Given : In a probability experiment, Eric flipped a coin 42 times. The coin landed on heads 28 times.

Then, the ratio of heads to tails in this experiment will be :-

`(28)/(42)=(2)/(3)`

Hence, the correct option is : A.
`(2)/(3)`
