 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!

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

(3) The sample of track athletes show that there is a correlation between foot size and running speed

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements are analysed as follows;

(1) Smaller foot sizes cause track athletes to run slower.

The above statement is a conclusion and it infers more information than is contained in the question statement because there are other factors such as taller athletes run faster than average sized athletes

(2) The sample of track athletes shows a causal relationship between

foot size and running speed.

The above statement is similar to the one above as it is a milder conclusion and it infers more information than is contained in the question statement

(3) The sample of track athletes shows a correlation between foot size

and running speed.

The  above statement is correct as is directly supported by the data as it is a statement made based directly the data

(4) There is no correlation between foot size and running speed in

track athletes.

The above statement is not supported by the available data.
