Answer:

B. 2:1, for every two yellow fish there is one orange fish

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have 6 yellow fish and 3 orange fish.

You can divide both these values by 3 to get:

2 yellow fish: 1 orange fish

Therefore, the simplified version of the ratio is 2:1

In context this means for every 2 yellow fish there is 1 orange fish.

The answer is then B.

I hope this helps!!

3 letters without replacement 4 letters A B C D how many ways can this be done if the order of the choices matters

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Since the order of choice matters, we will permute the values. a bit more explanation for this:

If the order of choice did NOT matter, ABC and BCA will be counted as one since order of choice does NOT matter

Since order of choice does matter, ABC , BCA and CAB are all different possibilities for the arrangement of the same 3 letters

Since we have 3 slots:

___ ___ ___

Now, for the first slot. You can out either one if the 4 alphabets in the first slot since no slot has been used as of now

So:

_4_ ___ ___

**Keep in mind that the 4 is the possible number of values this slot can have**

Now that one slot has been used, one of the 4 alphabets has been used and since we are not allowed to repeat the same alphabets, we are left with 3 more alphabets

we can put any one of the 3 alphabets in this second slot, Hence:

_4_ _3_ ___

Now that 2 of the 4 alphabets have been used, we are left with only 2 alphabets, so there are only 2 possible alphabets for slot 3

Therefore:

_4_ _3_ _2_

Now that we know the possible alphabets for all 3 slots, we will multiply them with each other to get the total possible number of 3 - alphabet words we can make with 4 alphabets

Total possible words = 4 * 3 * 2

Total possible words = 24

We could've used the formula for Permutation as well

Answer:

-5 5/10, -32/40,5

whenever a number has a negative sign,the larger the number the smaller.

i.e (-55/10= -5.5) is smaller than -32/40=-0.8 and then the greatest is 5 since it is a positive number and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
