How to write the ratio of the amount of time spent playing video games to the amount of time spent watching television

Mathematics
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago

You can write it just as given:

... (time spent in video games)/(time spent in television) = (10 minutes)/(1 hour)

However, the intent is to end with a pure number (no units), so we need to convert hours to minutes or vice versa. Most folks know that 1 hour is 60 minutes, so that is probably the easier conversion.

... = (10 minutes)/(60 minutes)

... = 10/60 . . . . . . . . . the units in numerator and denominator are the same, so cancel

... = 1/6 . . . . . . . . . . . .the fraction is reduced in the usual way

The ratio in simplest form is 1/6.

Divide 36 books into two groups so the ratio is 5 to 7. (Use the double number line strategy)
lutik1710 [3]

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)


So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.


P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

Which graph represents the function f(x)=
zhenek [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

you don't show us the choices.

anyway, the real graph must be similar to the one you are showing, as it goes to - and + infinity for x = 2.

because the denominator "x-2" will be 0 for x = 2.

but the horizontal limits are both y = +3 (and not 0).

because (3x-2)/(x-2) goes more and more to 3/1 the larger (or smaller in the - direction) x gets.
