If two buses are needed to transport 75 students to the aquarium and eight buses can transport 300 students to the aquarium which proportion describes the relationship between the number of buses and number of students do not reduce the ratio to their lowest terms

Answer 1

To describe the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students, we can set up a proportion based on the information provided.

From the first statement: 2 buses can transport 75 students. This gives us the ratio of buses to students as:

\[ \frac{2 \text{ buses}}{75 \text{ students}} \]

From the second statement: 8 buses can transport 300 students. This provides us with another ratio:

\[ \frac{8 \text{ buses}}{300 \text{ students}} \]

Thus, the two ratios that describe the relationship between the number of buses and the number of students are:

\[ \frac{2 \text{ buses}}{75 \text{ students}} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{8 \text{ buses}}{300 \text{ students}} \]

These ratios represent the relationship without reducing them to their lowest terms.
