Answer:
A. Equivalent ratios of 5:6
We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:
<u>10:12 , 15:18, 20:24, 25:30</u>
B. Equivalent ratios of 2:3
We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:
<u>4:6 , 6:9, 8:12, 10:15, 12:18</u>
C. We have the same number of oranges at:
<u>10:12 and 8:12</u>
<u>15:18 and 12:18</u>
<u>Like Celeste decided not to follow the directions, she's actually using less apples than expected to fill the baskets.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's check all the information provided to answer the question correctly:
Ratio that the local hospital say to Celeste to use : 5 apples for every 6 oranges
Ratio that Celeste is actually using: 2 apples for every 3 oranges
2. Complete the tables to find equivalent ratios.
A. Equivalent ratios of 5:6
We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:
10:12 , 15:18, 20:24, 25:30
B. Equivalent ratios of 2:3
We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number, this way:
4:6 , 6:9, 8:12, 10:15, 12:18
3. Circle two columns, one in each table, in which the number of oranges is the same.
We have the same number of oranges at:
10:12 and 8:12
15:18 and 12:18
Like Celeste decided not to follow the directions, she's actually using less apples than expected to fill the baskets.
