A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2
*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x = -2
You want the value of x. x is being multiplied by 1/4. To get x alone on the left side, you need to divide both sides by 1/4. Dividing by 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 4.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4 * 1/4 x = -2 * 4
4 * 1/4 = 1, so on the left side you get 1x which is just x.
x = 8
