The correct answer is 17: 30

Explanation:

The purpose of a ratio is to express the relationship between two elements in terms of quantities. For example, if there are 5 oranges and 4 lemons the ratio is 5 to 4. Additionally, this relationship between the quantities of two different things can be expressed as a fraction, by using a colon (:) or by using the word "to." In the last two cases, the colon or word "to" separate the two amounts compared.

In the case presented, the total of days observed was 30 days (17 days with rain + 13 days with no rain) and the ratio of rainy days to the total of days can be expressed as 17:30, \frac{17}{30} or as 17 to 30, considering there were 17 rainy days out of a total of 30 days.

What is the solution for the system of equations
OLEGan [10]
First, it depends how you want to solve the system. The easiest way is to solve by elimination. Eliminate the 2 s. Therefore, 4x = 8. Divide by 4 to find x. After dividing by 4, x=2. To find the y plug in 2 for x in the original equation. Try for the first one. 2 +2y =3. Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. Then you get 2y =1. Divide by 2 in both sides and you get y = 1/2.
