Sandy has four boxes filled with pink ribbons and yellow ribbons. The table shows the number of pink and yellow ribbons in each box. Box Number Pink Ribbons Yellow Ribbons 1 4 5 2 16 20 3 12 15 4 36 45 A fifth box has pink and yellow ribbons in the same proportion as Sandy’s first four boxes. Which table could represent box number 5?

Respuesta :

Box 1 has 4 pink and 5 yellow, which is a 4:5 proportion
Box 2 has 16 pink and 20 yellow, which is also a 4:5 proportion ( 16/4 = 4, 20/4 = 5)
Box 3 has 12 pink and 15 yellow, also a 4:5 proportion ( 12/3 = 4, 15 / 3 = 5 )

Box 5 would also have a 4:5 proportion

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of probability, so we have to find the table that corresponds to box 5:

[tex]4:5\ proportion[/tex]

Using proportionality to calculate the proportion of each box we find that:

  • Box 1 has 4 pink and 5 yellow, which is a 4:5 proportion
  • Box 2 has 16 pink and 20 yellow, which is also a 4:5 proportion:

[tex] 16/4 = 4, 20/4 = 5[/tex]

  • Box 3 has 12 pink and 15 yellow, also a 4:5 proportion:

[tex] 12/3 = 4, 15 / 3 = 5[/tex]

  • Box 5 would also have a 4:5 proportion
