Question

The size of a playground is 160 feet by 360 feet. A model is created that measures 4 inches by 9 inches. Is it a rate, ratio only or a proportion?

Answer 1

Answer:

The model is made in a 1:40 ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

How many times is 4 multiplied to be equal to 160?

4(x) = 160

X = 160 / 4

X = 40

The proportion, rate, and ratio are almost the same.

They represent the correspondence between the parts and the whole since they all express a binary relationship between the quantities, that is, objects, people, tablespoons.

If the ratio is 1: 2 it could be read that for every 1 there are 2.

For example 1: 2 cups; For every cup of something there are 2 cups of something else.

In this case, 1:40; For every inch of the model, there are 40 feet in the playground.
