2 Rodney owns 5 shirts for every 2 pairs of jeans he owns. Draw a model to
represent the two quantities and then write a ratio to compare the quantities.
Explain your reasoning.

Respuesta :

Ratios are used to show the relationships between 2 or more related variables.

  • The ratio that compare the quantities is: [tex]x : y = 5 : 2[/tex].
  • See attachment for the model

Let

[tex]x \to[/tex] Shirts

[tex]y \to[/tex] Pair of jean

The given parameter can be represented as:

5 shirts = 2 pairs of jeans

Replace the terms with their variables

[tex]5x = 2y[/tex]

Represent as a ratio:

[tex]x : y = 5 : 2[/tex]

Hence, the ratio that compares the two quantities is: [tex]x : y = 5 : 2[/tex]
