Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

Answer 2

Yes, her reasoning is correct

Explanation:

Given the ratio: 109.2 : 6

Written in fractional form, we have:

`109.2: 6=(109.2)/(6)`

Now:

`(109.2)/(6)=(109.2)/(6)X1, $ Let 1=(10)/(10), \\\\=(109.2)/(6)X(10)/(10)\\\\=(1092)/(60)`

Therefore, the student's reasoning is correct. In fact, as a check:

`(109.2)/(6)=18.2\\\\(1092)/(60)=18.2`

We would obtain the same result in both cases.
