Answer 1

Answer:

a. The ratio of A to B is 2.92 : 1

b. The ratio of B to A is 1 : 2.92

c. A is 292% of B

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 52193

B = 17878

a. The ratio of A to B is: 52193 : 17878

To get the ratio in lower form, divide A with B (since it is the smallest of the two value) and the result is:

2.92 : 1

b. The ratio of B to A is: 17878 : 52193

1 : 2.92

c. The percentage of A to B is:

$= \frac{A}{B} * 100\\= \frac{52193}{17878} * 100\\= \frac{5219300}{17878} \\= 291.939814297\\= 292%$

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 2.919.

B. 0.3425.

C. 291.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 52,193 is the number of deaths due to a deadly disease in the United States in 2005.

B = 17,878 is the number of deaths due to the same disease in the United States in 2009.

A.

The ratio of A to B = A/B.

52,193 : 17,878

=52193/17878

= 2.919 : 1

= 2.919.

B.

The ratio of B to A = B/A.

17,878 : 52,193

=17878/52193

= 1 : 2.919

= 0.3425.

C.

% A to B = value of A/value of B * 100

= 52193/17878 * 100

= 291.94 %
