You didn't know that?

I heat math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ratio is just writing numbers like x:y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in this case, you would write the number of dimes on the left side, because it says dimes to pennies, so dimes come first. So that is 8:11.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could also say 8 to 11.
