no. of boys : no.of girls
100 : 140
to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor
Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20
the simplest ratio will be
100/20 : 140/20
5:7
5:7 is the simplest ratio
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The protein/calories ratios are equivalent
Discussion:
For the first column
Protein/calories = 24/96 = 1/4
For the second column
Protein/calories = 28/112 = 1/4
So the protein/calories ratios are equivalent
Thank you,

Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
