Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what would be the current ratio of shooting drills to passing drills

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bThe team spent 20 minutes on passing drills and 40 minutes on shooting drills.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay great :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to write this information in one ratio form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes in3 different forms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know the 3 different forms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep a to b a:b a/b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect! :), so choose one for now, and write the ratio we have so far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a to b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We need a ratio that represents shooting drills to passing drills

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20 minutes was spent passing, and 40 was spent shooting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

;}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If we want the ratio for shooting to passing, it could be: \[40:20\] \[\frac{ 40 }{ 20 }\] or "40 to 20"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But can we simplify this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2:1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect :), and since the answer wants it in the three different forms: 2:1 2/1 2 to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one done 4 more to go
