The ratio 2/8 could represent which of the following? A) 8 parts that are one fourth each
B) 4 parts that are one-half each
C) 2parts that are one eighth each
D) 2 parts that are one fourth each

C) 2parts that are one eight each.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason I chose C) as the correct answer is becasue I evaluated it with the steps below.

A) - 8 parts that are one fourth each.

  This cannot be correct because it would surpase the 2/8ths (would be over).

B) - 4 parts that are one-half each.

  This cannot be correct because it would surpass the 2/8ths (would be over).

C) - 2parts that are one eight each.

  This can be correct because 2 parts have 1/8th. 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8.

D) - 2parts that are one fourth each.

  This cannot be correct because the denominator is not 8, it is 4 meaning it wouldn't fit into the format the question asked for (which was 2/8).

This makes the correct answer C).

  I hope this helps you understand and helps you in your question.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
