Question

Compound ratios of 3:4and2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplified or reduced ratio "3 to 4" tells us only that, for every three men, there are four women. The simplified ratio also tells us that, in any representative set of seven people (3 + 4 = 7) from this group, three will be men. A ratio compares two numbers using a fraction. Ratios can be written three different ways: (1) 2 to 3 (2) 2:3 (3) 2/3 They all mean the same thing. Pretend I have a class of 25 students: 10 students are boys and 15 are girls. I can compare number of boys to girls using the ratio 10/15 (or 10:15; or 10 to 15).
