Question 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, her reasoning is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio:  109.2 : 6

Written in fractional form, we have:

$109.2: 6=\dfrac{109.2}{6}$

Now:

$\dfrac{109.2}{6}=\dfrac{109.2}{6}X1, Let 1=\dfrac{10}{10}, \\\\=\dfrac{109.2}{6}X\dfrac{10}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{1092}{60}$

Therefore, the student's reasoning is correct. In fact, as a check:

$\dfrac{109.2}{6}=18.2\\\\\dfrac{1092}{60}=18.2$

We would obtain the same result in both cases.
