Question

fred made colorful glitter glue to decorate posters for his schools spring dance. to make red glitter glue, he used 2 cups of glitter and 6 cups of glue. to make gold glitter glue, he used 3 cups of glitter and 9 cups of glue. which color of glitter glue had a greater ratio of glitter to glue?
a. the red glitter glue
b. the gold glitter glue
c. neither both had the same ratio

Answer 1

To determine which color of glitter glue had a greater ratio of glitter to glue, we can calculate the ratio for both the red and gold glitter glue.

1. **Red Glitter Glue:**
- Glitter: 2 cups
- Glue: 6 cups
- Ratio of glitter to glue = Glitter / Glue = \( \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \)

2. **Gold Glitter Glue:**
- Glitter: 3 cups
- Glue: 9 cups
- Ratio of glitter to glue = Glitter / Glue = \( \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \)

Now we can compare the ratios:

- Red Glitter Glue ratio: \( \frac{1}{3} \)
- Gold Glitter Glue ratio: \( \frac{1}{3} \)

Both ratios are the same.

Therefore, the answer is: **c. neither both had the same ratio.**
