 12 boys                       3 boys
------------- reduces to ------------ 
16 girls                         4 girls

We want the simplified ratio of girls to students.  There are 12+16, or 28, students to start with.  We must reduce 16/28, which is the ratio of girls to students before simplification.  This reduces to 4/7 (4 to 7).

We know that there are 16 girls. That is the first part of the ratio. Now, it says girls to students, which mean you have to add up the total of girls and boys together. 12+16=28. There are 28 students in total. Now, you have the ratio of 16:28. But, it says simplified...so we need to divide both sides of the ratio by a number. Let's choose 4 because 4 can go both into 16 and 28. 16/4=4. 28/4=7. So, the simplified ratio of girls to students in the classroom is 4:7.
Hope this helped!

Use diagrams or the description of equivalent ratios to show thay 2:3,4:6, and 8:12 are equivalent
VikaD [51]
So
lets say we have
a/b=2a/2b
we know that if we invert one and multiply it by the other (divide them), we get 1 because a/a=1 where a=a

so
2/3 and 4/6 are equivelent because if you divide them we get 12/12=1

2/3 and 8/12 are equivilent because if you divide them we get 24/24=1

and sinde 2/3=4/6 and 2/3=8/12, 2/3=4/6=8/12

they are equivlent

The family buys 4 airline tickets online.

The travel insurance costs $19 per ticket.

The total cost is $752.

A.

An equation that models this problem could be

Basically, we know that the insurance costs $19 which represents an additional costs after the price per ticket, that's why we need to add them. Then, we know that the familiy bought 4 tickes, that's why we multiply by 4, and finally, the total cost must be equal to 752, according to the problem.

B.

To find the price of one ticket, we just need to solve the equation for

Therefore, one ticket costs $169.
