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.

Answer:
a.)48
b.)528
c.)448
Step-by-step explanation:
a.)8x8=64. 4x4=16 64-16=48
b.)48(from a. answer)x11=528
c.)11x8(x2 for the other side)=176. 11x4x4=176.
48x2=96. 176+176+96=448
Answer:
when you subtract a negative number the two negative signs cancel out and it turns to a positive number
Step-by-step explanation:
in -6 - (-2)
the two - signs cancel out so it ends up being
-6+2 which is why it equals -4
Well, assuming that you need to round to the nearest whole number, what is six closer to? 0, or 10? The answer is 10. Therefore, you would round up to 33. Hope this helps!
