Aquarium 1 will hold 5 small fish for every 10 gallons of water. If there are 200 gallons in the tank, you can sent up a proportion:
5 small fish/10 gallons = x small fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get 
10x = 200 × 5
10x = 1000
x = 100 
100 small fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

Aquarium 2 will hold 8 large fish for every 40 gallons of water. A proportion can also be set up here: 
8 large fish/ 40 gallons = x large fish/ 200 gallons
if you cross multiply, you get: 
40x = 200 × 8 
40x = 1600
x = 40 
40 large fish will be in 200 gallons of water. 

the ratio of small fish to large fish:
100 small fish: 40 large fish
(both are divisible for 10, and if you divide both of them by ten you get)
10 small fish: 4 large fish
you can reduce again, since both are divisble by 2
5 small fish: 2 large fish

Why is georg simmel regarded as a micro sociologist. Use a practical example from the economic institutions to support your expl
Harman [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Georg Simmel (1858-1918) is regarded as a micro sociologist because he developed the process of social development, intermixing the quantitative expansion of groups and social differentiation. He established that the smaller the group, the more vulnerable they were and that is why these groups had to ask their members more focus, effort, and involvement to be successful. On the other hand, the larger the group, the lesser involvement was needed because the members of these groups were diverse and segmented by affinities. In these groups, the relationships were impersonal and cold.
