One way to write a ratio, is as a fraction. For example, you have 6/8, right, so now you basically rewrite that, but instead of the (/) sign, you put the (:) sign, which we normally use for writing ratios. That's the most common way of writing ratios, but also, you can do this;
*you have the same fraction, 6/8, but you basically say it in words. (six to eight) that's exactly how you would say it in words. Remember, your first number thats given is the number you ALWAYS write, or say first

There are 3 different ways to write a ratio this first is a fraction, 5/8. You could also write it using the word "to", 5 to 8. Finally you could write it using a colon, 5:8. Hope this clears things up for you!

Answer:

We can do it with envelopes with amounts $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $489

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that, in binary system, 1023=1111111111. That is, with 10 digits we can express up to number 1023.

This give us the idea to put in each envelope an amount of money equal to the positional value of each digit in the representation of 1023. That is, we will put the bills in envelopes with amounts of money equal to $1,$2,$4,$8,$16,$32,$64,$128,$256 and $512.

However, a little modification must be done, since we do not have $1023, only $1,000. To solve this, the last envelope should have $489 instead of 512.

Observe that:

1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+489=1000
Since each one of the first 9 envelopes represents a position in a binary system, we can represent every natural number from zero up to 511.
If we want to give an amount "x" which is greater than $511, we can use our $489 envelope. Then we would just need to combine the other 9 to obtain x-489 dollars. Since $x-489\leq511$ , by 2) we know that this would be possible.
