Question

A.There are 18 salt shakers and 48 pepper shakers. Write the ratio of pepper shakers to salt shakers in lowest terms.
B. There are 39 books and 21 binders. Write the ratios of binders to books in lowest terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Pepper shaker : Salt shakers = 8 : 3

(b) Binder : Books = 7 : 13

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

We have,

18 salt shakers and 48 pepper shakers

Thus,

Its Ratio of Pepper shaker : Salt shakers = 48 : 18

Reducing it by 6 we get,

Lowest ratio = 8 : 3

Hence,

Pepper shaker : Salt shakers = 8 : 3

(b)

We have,

39 books and 21 binders

Thus,

Its Ratio of Binder : Books = 21 : 39

Reducing it by 3 we get,

Lowest ratio = 7 : 13

Hence,

Binder : Books = 7 : 13
