Question

On an airplane 90 seats are occupied and 70 seats are empty. What two ratios correctly relate the number of occupied seats to the number of empty seats

Answer 1

These ratios accurately represent the relationship between the number of occupied seats (90) and the number of empty seats (70) on the airplane. The first ratio shows the direct numbers, while the second ratio is simplified by dividing both numbers by 10 to get the simplest form.

Explanation:

To relate the number of occupied seats to the number of empty seats, we can use the following ratios:

1. The ratio of occupied seats to empty seats can be expressed as 90:70.

2. The simplified ratio of occupied seats to empty seats is 9:7.
