Jennifer bought 12 pens. Out of 12 pens, 7 are blue and the rest are red. What is the ratio of the number of red pens to the total number of pens?

The answer is 5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 5:12 because We already know that 7 pens are blue. To find the number of red pens we must subtract 12 - 7 and get 5 as the number of red pens. Now knowing the no. of red pens and total number we can say the ratio of red pens to total no. is 5:12

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
