<em>The answer is 10:7, 10/7, 10 to 7. Whichever it's asking for. As long as you know the ratio is 10 rock songs to 7 country songs. </em><em /><u> </u><em />This problem can be a simple fraction simplification problem. Here's what I mean: <em> </em><em />So, we have 40 rock songs and 28 country songs. Let's put that into a fraction: <em> </em> <em> </em>To simplify this as much as possible, all we have to do is find the greatest common multiple and divide it by both numbers. the GCF is 4, so all you have to do is divide 40 by 4 and 28 by 4 to get your ratios. <em> I hope this helped!!
From the 3 options listed, both in and in could be measures found using a ruler with eighth inches marked, because those decimals can be written in terms of eighth fractions.
The other option, in, is not a possibility because 0.1 cannot be written as a fraction of 8 that is marked on the ruler.
