Answer 1

a ratio is one number divided by another number.

ratio of local calls to long distance means the top number is # of local
divided by the bottom number, # of long distance.
they give you those numbers.
can you write them down?

Answer 10

?????????????????????????????????

Answer 11

the ratio is 36/20 (or 36:20)
however, we can simplify it. (the same way you simplify a fraction)
for example, both the top and bottom are even, so you could divide both by 2
you would get
18/10 (because 36/2 is 18 and 20/2 is 10)
but we can simplify even more. divide top and bottom by 2. what do you get ?

Answer 12

Your wrong I submitted it and the ratio is 9:5 😡

Answer 13

18/10 (because 36/2 is 18 and 20/2 is 10) but we can simplify even more. divide top and bottom by 2. what do you get ?
