Question

The table shows the way students travel to school at Peace Middle School.

Answer 1

Answer:

A)The ratio of students who walk to students who ride the bus is 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the transportation number of students:

• Bike 21
• Walk 27
• Bus 45
• Car 10

We validate each statement to disprove or prove:

#A)The ratio of students who walk to students who ride the bus is 3:5

-27 students walk, 45 take the bus. the ratio is calculated as $\frac{27}{45}=0.6=3:5$

hence, TRUE.

#B)For every 777 students who bike, there are 888 students who walk

-21 students bike, 27 walk.

$bike:walk=\frac{21}{27}=0.78=7:9\\\\7:9\neq 777:888$

Hence, FALSE.

#C)None of the above

A is a correct statement. Hence , FALSE.
