Question

Describe a situation that could be modeled with the ratio 4 : 1.

Answer 1

Answer:

A scenario which could be modeled with the ratio 4 : 1 is "A fruit basket contains only oranges and pineapples which totals 50 pieces; the number of oranges in the basket is 40 with the remaining being pineapples."

Modeling the scenario described above using ratio :

Total number of fruits = 50

Oranges = 40

Pineapples = (50 - 40) = 10

The ratio of both fruits :

Oranges : pineapple

40 : 10

Divide through by 10

40/10 : 10/10

4 : 1

Hence, the scenario above could be modeled with the ratio 4:1.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

When selecting ratios for two variables (boys and girls) the two sides of the ratio must add up to be a factor of the total student count. The factors of 28 include 14, 7, 4, and 2. (1 + 1 = 2), (2 + 3 = 5), (3 + 4 = 7), and (1 + 3 = 4). 5 is the only nonfactor and cannot be the ratio of boys to girls, thus making 2 : 3 the correct answer.
