OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so, the requested ration is: \(8/16=...?\), since the number superhero cards is 8
OpenStudy (thadds2003):

why do you have to be 13 for QH?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why not 12 since a ton of the population is young
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
you have to divide both numerator and denominator by 8
OpenStudy (thadds2003):
1 : 2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
divide them both by 8 which is the farthest you can go

medal?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
so: \(8:8=...?\)
\(16:8=...?\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cause 1 is not a prime but can't be divided anymore and 2 is a prime
OpenStudy (thadds2003):
1 : 2
