There are 18 female students and 16 male students in a class. which of the following expresses the ratio of female students to male students in simplest form?

a) 8/9

b) 9 to 8

c) 8 : 9

d) 18/16

(i think it’s b but can someone me out)

Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Solution:

The ratio is FEMALES to MALES.

So its 18/16, 18:16, or 18 to 16.

~Now we need to simplify.

18:16 → 18/2:16/2 → 9:8

*Note* When you have a ratio you need to know which comes first. If you put males to females that incorrect. It has to be correct according to the question.

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.

step-by-step explanation:

answer4 to the second power is 16

and 4 to the third power is 64,
