A bag holds 28 blue marbles and 49 red marbles. What is the ratio of red marbles to the total number of marbles in the bag? A. 7 to 11 B. 7 to 4 C. 4 to 7 D. 4 to 11

pooja195 (pooja195):

Add the # of marbles together first since it wants a ratio to the total numbers in the bag

pooja195 (pooja195):

28+49=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

77?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

Alright. Now it would be 49:77 because ratio means "how much of one thing there is compared to another thing." Ratio is like a fraction, except without a fraction bar. So we have the number 49 and 77. Which number can go in perfectly in 49 and 77?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

come on u got this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on

OpenStudy (boldjon):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea.... i got this 77 divided by 49 is 1.57142857

OpenStudy (boldjon):

11 times 7 and 7 times 7 so 7 to 11

OpenStudy (boldjon):

^_^

OpenStudy (boldjon):

night

pooja195 (pooja195):

No don't divide find the GCF of the two numbers

OpenStudy (boldjon):

it's a

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

it is a

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

right?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

yeah

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

because when you devide thwy both get you 11

A neighborhood has 32 one-story homes and 24 two-story homes. What is the ratio of two-story homes to one-story homes in simplest form?

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

well the greatest common factor is 8 so...

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

3:4 24:32 6:8

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

and it is unsimplified if you do 32: 24

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

then you have to simplify it as much as possible by using division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh...ok awesome

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

divide it by 8 which is the GCF of 32 and 24

OpenStudy (smartyprincess):

so what do you get/
