Answer:

16 : 24 (1 : 1.5)

for simplyfication we need to make the number of erasers 1 so we need to divide 16 by 16 and we also need to divide 24 by 16 which is 1.5 and the simplyfied answer would be 1 : 1.5 I hope this helps.

Since you know you have 16 erasers and 24 pencils, the first thing you should do is put it in to an actual ratio, like so:
16:24
Now that you have a ratio, you need to simplify it. It is very similar to simplifying fractions. You can start by dividing by 2, which gives you:
8:12
And by two again:
4:6
And again:
2:3
So you now know that Gregory’s ratio of erasers to pencils in his locker is 2:3!!
You could also divide 16:24 by 8 which gives you the answer quicker, but I find it easier to break it down in smaller, more manageable chunks. It’s all in finding a common multiple and making the ratio the smallest whole numbers possible :)

Write the following as a ratio: $72 for 488 photos
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The required ratio is 9 : 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

$72 for 488 photos,

That is, the price of 488 photos = 72 dollars,

So, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos = \frac{72}{488}

∵ HCF(72, 488) = 8,

Thus, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos = \frac{72\div 8}{488\div 8}

= \frac{9}{61}

Answer:

(4,1), (-4,1), (4,6), (-4,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here can be identified two points with the same 'y' value: (4,1), (-4,1)

it means that there is a line passing by y=1

Same for (4,6), (-4,6): it means that there is a line passing by y=6

Now find the distance between two points in both cases
