Jeremy can choose his outfit in following ways:
2 ways to select a shirt
2 ways to select a pant
2 ways to select socks
3 ways to select the footwear.
Total number of ways to select the dress = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24 ways
Jeremy will select an outfit that includes flip-flops, argyle socks and denim pants. The shirt is not specified, so the shirt can be any.
So there are 2 ways to select a shirt, 1 way to select the pant, socks and footwear. So Jeremy can select the desired outfit in 2 ways.
Thus, the probability that Jeremy will select an outfit that includes flip-flops, argyle socks and denim pants = 2/24 = 1/12
Step-by-step explanation: We can write a ratio using the word "to", using a colon, or using a fraction bar.
Here, since we want our ratio in simplest form,
I would use a fraction bar.
Now, the problem asks us to compare
the number of boys to the number of girls.
We know that there are 12 boys
and we know that there are 15 girls.
So our ratio is 12/15.
However, this can be reduced to 4/5.
All you need to do is plug in the numbers and you'll get the sides.
