Answer:


(1)/(6.25) = (t)/(25)

Explanation:

A proportion is setting two ratios to be equal to each other.

You are given the price of 1 ticket, so you can set up a ratio of price to ticket.

$6.25 to 1 ticket, or
(6.25)/(1)

The other ratio involves the $25 and the unknown number of tickets, t, $25 can buy.

$25 to t tickets, or
(25)/(t)

To write a proportion, set the two ratios equal.


(6.25)/(1) = (25)/(t)

This proportion does not appear in the choices.

Take the reciprocal of both sides.


(1)/(6.25) = (t)/(25)
