Question

Find a ratio that compares the relative sizes of the quantities

24 ounces to 9 pounds

Answer 1

1 : 6

Explanation:

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

24 ounces

= 24 x 0.0625

= 1.5 pounds

24 ounces to 9 pounds

= 24 ounces : 9 pounds

= 1.5 pounds : 9 pounds

= 1.5 : 9

= 1.5 / 9

= 15 / 90

= 1 / 6

= 1 : 6
