OpenStudy (thadds2003):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

DIRECT ANSWER NOT ACCEPTING IT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it says simplest form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then simplify everything by dividing by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Who Thadd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes , it's just another way i think is a little little little bit shorter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's exactly what I did tho

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

well, anyone who gives out direct answers.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"medal and fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" .... ?? Let's not get so desperate that you have to offer bribes to get help. You need the ratio (# of oranges) to (# of pears). How many oranges are there? pears? Write the (numeric) ratio: ( ) / ( ) Reduce this fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No one gave out a direct answer here.

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

well, true.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Write the numeric ratio of the number of oranges to the number of pears, please. Thadd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I find this funny too ^^

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

28 : 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, honestly, I don't need fans, i see no use for it

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Thadds? This is really your baby; could y ou write that ratio, please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, the order of the fruit matters @Thadds2003

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

i did, its up there, 28 : 16

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Review: how many oranges are there? How many pears?

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

16 orages......... 28 pears

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Fill in the blanks: The ratio of the # of oranges to the # of pears is ( ) / ( )

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

16/28. that can be reduced, right?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Good. You have those numbers right.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Right. How would you reduce that, Thadds?

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

4/7.

OpenStudy (thadds2003):

divide both by four.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

that's correct, but i'm curious how you found it. Oh, you divided numerator and denominator by 4? Very good. You're done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( I gave out the answer first haha, Good job math.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Exile: Remember, Open Study is NOT, repeat, NOT, about giving out answers, or about giving out answers before anybody else can. It's the process of finding the answer by oneself (meaning Thadds) that's important.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Nice work, Thadds.
