Answer:
[tex]Ratio = 2 : 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Population = 13[/tex] --- Boys & Girls
Required
Determine the ratio of the kitten ears to the tails
A kitten has 1 tail and 2 ears.
Assume each individual got 1 kitten each
This implies that,
[tex]Number\ of\ tails= 1 * 13[/tex]
[tex]Number\ of\ tails= 13[/tex]
[tex]Number\ of\ ears= 2* 13[/tex]
[tex]Number\ of\ ears= 26[/tex]
The ratio of ears to tail is then calculated as follows:
Ratio = Number of ears : Number of tails
This gives
[tex]Ratio = 26 : 13[/tex]
Divide by 13
[tex]Ratio = 26/13 : 13/13[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 2 : 1[/tex]
