Question

Christian has a collection of 18 shark teeth. He identified them as 6 tiger shark teeth, 8 sand shark teeth, and the rest as bull shark teeth.

What does the ratio 4:18 represent in this situation? Explain your reasoning.
Include a model in your explanation.

Answer 1

I'm well I can't include a model but I think I could explain it pretty well you see when you add the six tiger shark teeth and the eight sand tiger shark teeth together and compare that to the 18 that is 14 so they said the rest is well the rest is bull shark teeth so that is for so the ratio is 4 to 18 which means the 4 stands for the bull shark teeth to the whole amount of shark teeth

Answer 2

see below

Explanation:

There are 18 teeth

6 tiger + 8 sand = 14

18-14 = 4

This means there are 4 bull shark teeth

4:18

4 bull shark teeth: 18 total shark teeth
