The correct answer is 7 : 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 14 girls and 2 boys taking karate lessons.
Total number of students taking the karate class is 16.
The ratio that compares the number of girls taking karate lessons to the total number of students taking karate lessons is given by 14 : 16 = 7 : 8.
This can be interpreted as for every 8 students in the karate lesson, 7 of them are girls.

Answer:
24/100 x 25 =6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
