Question

There are a number of horses in a field on a farm. Choose the statement(s) 3 points below that correctly describe the ratio relationship for the horses in the field. * The ratio of tails to ears among the horses is 1:2 The ratio of legs to eyes among the horses is 1:1 The ratio of ears to legs among the horses is 1 to 2 The ratio of ears to eyes among the horses is 2:2 The ratio of legs to tails among the horses is 1.4

Answer 1

A horse have 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 tail and four legs

So,

A) the ratio of tails to the ears among the horses is :

`\frac{Number\text{ of Tail}}{Number\text{ of ears}}=(1)/(2)`

So, Ratio is 1 : 2, as in the given statement ratio is 1 : 2

SO, Statement is true

B) The ratio of legs to eyes among the horses is :

`\begin{gathered} \frac{Number\text{ of legs}}{Number\text{ of eyes}}=(4)/(2) \\ \frac{Number\text{ of legs}}{Number\text{ of eyes}}=(2)/(1) \end{gathered}`

So, the ratio is 2 : 1, but in the given statement ratio is 1 : 1

Statment is False

C) The ratio of ears to legs among the horses is 1 to 2

`\begin{gathered} \frac{Number\text{ of ears}}{Number\text{ of legs}}=(2)/(4) \\ \frac{Number\text{ of ears}}{Number\text{ of legs}}=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

So, the ratio of ears to legs among the horses is 1 : 2

and in our given statement ratio is 1 : 2

so, Statement is True

D) The ratio of ears to eyes among the horses is 2:2

`\begin{gathered} \frac{Number\text{ of ears}}{Number\text{ of eyes}}=(2)/(2) \\ \frac{Number\text{ of ears}}{Number\text{ of eys}}=(1)/(1) \end{gathered}`

So, the ratio of ears to eyes is 1 : 1 or 2 : 2

Statement is True

E) The ratio of legs to tails among the horses is :

`\frac{Number\text{ of legs}}{Number\text{ of tails}}=(4)/(1)`

So, the ratio is 4 : 1 but in the given statement ratio is 1 : 4

SO, Statement is False

Answer :

A ) The ratio of tails to ears among the horses is 1:2

C) The ratio of ears to legs among the horses is 1 to 2

D ) The ratio of ears to eyes among the horses is 2:2
