Question

Last season the girls' volleyball team had 5 seventh-grade students and 4 sixth-grade students. What is the ratio of sixth-grade students to seventh-grade students on the volleyball team? A 4:5 B 4:9 C 5:4 D5:9

Answer 1

A) 4:5

Explanation:

A) 4:5

B) 4:9

C) 5:4

D) 5:9

If there are 4 sixth grade students, you can already cross off D because there is no 4 as an option. There are 5 seventh grade students, you can cross off B because there's no 5. So now it's down to 4:5 or 5:4. Since it wants the ration of sixth to seventh, it's 4 to 5.

Hence, the ratio is 4:5, answer A

Hope this helps :)
