Question

Please help me i gotta turn this in in 10 minutes

Answer 1

To find the ratio, we must find the total amount of days (31) and the number of days that are either a Saturday or a Sunday (10). Since in the sentence, the number of Saturdays and Sundays is mentioned first, the 10 would precede the 31 in the ratio.

Final Answer - 10:31

Answer 2

1) First figure out the number of days in August. This is easy because it's given to you - it's the number of days on the calendar, 31.

2) Next, count up the number of Saturdays and Sundays. There are 5 Saturdays + 5 Sundays = 10 total.

3) Finally put it as a ratio. Since you're looking for the ratio of "something" to "something," you want to put it as the first thing over the second thing (if in fraction form) or first thing:second thing. 

So Saturdays and Sundays to total number of days:
$\frac{10}{31}$ or 10:31

------

Answer: $\frac{10}{31}$ or 10:31
