Last class Mr.Harbeck told us to answer the question we were assigned to answer. My questions were questions 12 and 13.
Question #12.
In a class of 32 students, there are 24 girls.
a) What is the boys to total students ratio?
Express the ratio as a fraction and a
percent.
Ratio - 8:32 boys to total
Fraction - 2 over 8 (I simplified the answer by dividing both numbers by 4,
8/4 = 2 and 32/4 = 8)
Percent - 25% (8 is 25 percent of 32 and 32 is 100% of 32 so 8+8+8+8 = 32. One eight is 25% of 32. 8/32 = 0.25( 0.25 x 100) = 25%.
b) What is the girls to boys ratio? Use
ratio notation to express the ratio.
8 : 24 boys to girls
Question #13
A soccer team played 28 games and won
4 out of every 7 games. There were no
tied games.
a) How many games did they lose?
The team lost 12 games. ( 1. 7-4 = 3 2. 7 x 4 = 28 3. 3 x 4 = 12 games lost )
b) What was the team’s win–loss ratio?
Explain how you got your answer.
16 : 12 win to loss ( I calculated the losses and got 12 and got 16 as the wins so 16+12 = 28 games)
c) If this trend continues, how many losses
would you expect the team to have
once they have won 20 games?
Well I think 28 games plus 20 more win games the teams ratio would be
36 : 12 wins to loss
