Hi!

This problem is the fifth in a series of seven about ratios. At first glance the problem may look to be beyond 6.RP.1, which limits itself to “describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. However, even though there are three quantities (the number of each candidates' votes), they are only considered two at a time.

In the first problem students define the simple ratios that exist among the three candidates. It opens an opportunity to introduce unit rates.

The subsequent problems are more complex. In the second problem, students apply their understanding of ratios to combine two pools of voters to determine a new ratio. In the third problem, students apply a known ratio to a new, larger pool of voters to determine the number of votes that would be garnered.

Solutions

Solution: Question #1

a. John's votes to Will's, 16 to 8, or 2 to 1. Marie's votes to Will's, 12 to 8, 3 to 2, or 32 to 1, the unit ratio. Marie's votes to John's, 12 to 16, 3 to 4, or 34 to 1, the unit ratio.

Solution: Question #2

2. Will now has 8 + 12 = 20 votes to John's 16 votes, so the ratio of Will's votes to John's votes is 20 : 16, 5 : 4, or 54 : 1, the unit ratio.

Solution: Question #3 - Computing votes

There are different ways to approach this problem, but both begin with the fact that Will gets votes in a 5 to 4 ratio compared with John and require recognizing that a 5 to 4 ratio means a total of 9 equal parts. Then it is straightforward to compute:

59×90=50 votes for Will

49×90=40 for John

50−40=10 more votes for Will.

Solution: Question #3 - Applying fractions

One can solve the problem by working fractions by recognizing that Will getting votes in a 5 to 4 ratio means a total of 9 equal parts. It follows that Will gets 59 of the 90 votes and John gets 49 of the 90 votes:

59−49=19 of the voters

19×90=10 more votes for Will

Solution: Question #3 - Equivalent Ratios

An alternate very basic solution to Question 3 involves creating a series of equivalent ratios. This approach may be selected by students who are still developing an understanding of proportional situations. Students may begin with the ratio of 5 to 4 and proceed to find a ratio such that the sum of numerator and denominator is 90. This sequence may appear as follows:

5/4 = 10/8 = 15/12 = 20/16 = 25/20 = 30/24 = 35/28 = 40/32 = 45/36 =50/40

Then 50 - 40 = 10 more votes for Will

Overall answer

10 more votes for will

How to write3.repeating 7 as a mixed number
ki77a [65]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our fraction x.

x=3.777......

We want to get rid of the repeating stuff. If we multiply our fraction by 10, we get 10x=37.7777.

We see that if we subtract x from 10x, the repeating numbers will be cancelled out. Let's do this.

10x=37.7777

-

x=3.77777

=

9x=34

We divide both sides by 9.

x=34/9=3 7/9.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

C is false as the other three are 100% correct statements. I dont know what is linear growth and exponential growth but I know that the other 3 statements are correct so the only 1 left C must be false.
