To determine the child/adult ratio, divide the # of children by the # of adults and compare the resultant fractions (or decimals)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
RESULTANT ? WHAT IS THAT ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To find the ratio of children to adults simply do child : adult for each group and simplify
so sunnyside is 49:7 --> 7:1
westside is 80:10 --> 8:1
little ones is 56:14 -- 4:1
then just determine the biggest one :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):

* 8:1
OpenStudy (pfenn1):
Resultant fraction means the results you get for each fraction
7:1 is the same thing as 7/1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8:1 in a decimal is 8
a ratio in a decimal is just x/y if the ratio is x:y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is the answer 8 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup!
