Describe three ways to write the ratio that compares 4 electronic devices for every 3 people.

Question

A. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 3/4
B. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 4/3
C. 3 to 4, 3 : 4, 3/4
D. 4 to 3, 3 : 4, 4/3

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 4/3.

Here's why:

1. 4 to 3 indicates that for every 4 electronic devices, there are 3 people.
2. 4 : 3 is the ratio format, again showing the same relationship.
3. 4/3 represents the ratio as a fraction, which is equivalent to "for every 4 devices, there are 3 people."

The other options contain inaccuracies regarding the representation of the ratio.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion in my previous response. Let's clarify the correct representations of the ratio comparing 4 electronic devices to 3 people.

The ratio comparing 4 electronic devices to 3 people can be expressed in the following ways:

1. 4 to 3 - This says that for every 4 devices, there are 3 people.
2. 4 : 3 - This is another way to express the same ratio using a colon.
3. 4/3 - This represents the ratio as a fraction, indicating the proportion of devices to people.

Thus, the correct choice from the options you provided would actually be B. 4 to 3, 4 : 3, 4/3.

The confusion arose from my previous statement about option representations. Thank you for your patience!
