Question

D. Maria collects postcards. The table gives the

number of each type of postcard she has in her
collection. Use the data to write each ratio in
three different ways.
A. U.S. Landmarks to European Landmarks:

Answer 1

Answer: A. U.S. Landmarks to European Landmarks

Maria has 25 U.S. landmark postcards and 20 European landmark postcards. The ratio of U.S. landmarks to European landmarks can be written as 25:20 or as 25/20.

Alternatively, we can express the ratio as a fraction. If we divide the number of U.S. landmark postcards by the total number of U.S. and European landmark postcards, we get 25/(25+20)=25/45

The last way we can express the ratio as a decimal. By dividing the number of U.S. landmark postcards by the total number of U.S. and European landmark postcards, we can find that the ratio of U.S. landmarks to European landmarks is 25/45 =0.555 or 55.5%
