Start Fraction 2 over 4 End Fraction
In this case, Elijah brought 6 pants and Josiah brought 10 shirts.
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 6/10.
Simplifying this fraction gives us 3/5.
So the correct answer is: Start Fraction 3 over 5 End Fraction.
According to the information given, Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants, while together they brought a total of 10 shirts and 6 pants.
To find out how many shirts Elijah brought, we subtract the number of shirts Josiah brought from the total number of shirts:
10 shirts - 6 shirts = 4 shirts
So, Elijah brought 4 shirts.
Now, we can calculate the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts by dividing the number of pants by the number of shirts:
Elijah's pants / Elijah's shirts = 4 pants / 4 shirts
Simplifying this ratio, we get:
Start Fraction 4 over 4 End Fraction
This simplifies to:
1
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 1.
