To write a ratio as a fraction, we simply take the first number in the ratio and make it the numerator while taking the second number in the ratio and making it the denominator.

Because we want the ratio of engines to box cars, our ratio should be:

number of engines/number of box cars

When we substitute in our respective values, we get:

4/18

To simplify this ratio, we have to find the GCF, or greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator, which in this case is 2. To simplify, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF, as follows:

4/2 / 18/2

When we simplify, we get:

2/9

Therefore, your answer is 2/9.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of x in the following equation, x/4 = -120? (Btw, it's x over 4 not division :)
Sergio039 [100]
If you mean by x over 4 that it is fraction then there is no different between it and divisions
x/4 = -120
x = -120 × 4 ( when division goes to the other side of equal it turns into multiplication)
x = -480

A. -480

Solving inequalities, what is x/18&gt;27
Lunna [17]

Answer:   x > 486

Explanation:

We have some number x and we divide that by 18. The result is larger than 27. To find possible values for x, we need to undo what is happening to x. The opposite of division is multiplication. We multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the "18" on the left side, which will isolate x to get it to its own side.

This is what the steps look like

x/18 > 27

18*( x/18 ) > 18*27 .... multiplying both sides by 18

x > 486 ... note the 18's cancel on the left side

So this means x is some number greater than 486.
