Question

in a city, there are 8 and 3 private swimming pools. on weekends, 5 of the pool are open. Brendan says that the ratio of pools open on weekends to the total number of pools is 5:8. Cyndi says the ratio of pools open on weekends to the total of pools is 5:16 is either student correct .?

Answer 1

"5", "11", I believe that the answer for the middle option is "neither" or a synonym of that, "5", "11"

Explanation:

The text says that there are only 5 pools open on the weekend.

There are a total of 11 pools (8+3).

Both said an incorrect number of total pools, so both are wrong.

The ratio is the number of pools open divided by the number of total pools, or 5/11.
