Chase caught 2/3 of the balls hit to left field. Ryan caught 3/5 of the balls hit to right field. Which pair of equivalent fractions will help them find the total amount of the balls they both caught?

1 4/15 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Chase caught 2/3 of the balls hit to left field.

Ryan caught 3/5 of the balls hit to right field.

The Lowest common denominator for both fraction is given as 15

Hence, the equivalent fractions for each boy is calculated such that the denominators of both fraction is 15

For Chase:

We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 5

2 × 5 /3 × 5 = 10/15

2/5 = 10/15

For Ryan

We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 3

3 × 3 /5 × 3 = 9/15

3/5 = 9/15

The total amount of the balls they both caught is:

10/15 + 9/15

= 19/15 = 1 4/15

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
