Answer 1

1. No.
50:10 = 5:1

21r = 45
r = 45/21
r = 2.1429

3. No.

4. No.

5. Right

6. 2.97 / 3 = ?

Answer 2

1.
10:2 is not in lowest terms, both numbers divide by 2
10:2
= 5:1

2.
r/5= 9/21
r = 45/21 = 15/7 which is appr 2.143
They should have given 15/7 as the correct choice,
the rounded off number is not exact.

3. puzzled by your choice.

it takes 3 cups to make 9 dozen
so it takes 9 cups to make 9 dozen

4.
39/12 , this fraction does not reduce any more

5. 62.6 gallons/10 months = 6.26 gallons/month
(you had that one right, finally!)

1 cookie costs 2.97/3 or 99 cents per cookie
