Question

An adult tiger weighs 6650 pounds. A baby tiger weighs about 2 pounds at birth. Write the ratio of the newborn tiger's weight to the adult tiger's weight.

Answer 1

Hi!

There are three different ways to write ratios.

x:y

x to y

x/y

So let's write, then simplify this ratio, in all three forms.

2:6650

2 to 6650

2/6650

Simplify

1:3325

1 to 3325

1/3325

One of those will be your answer :)

Hope this helps! :)
