Answer:
Values are switched, ratio should be 16/24
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's ratios are wrong because the values in the right side of the equality are switched, the proposed equality is:
[tex]\frac{4\ oranges}{6\ ounces}=\frac{24\ oranges}{16\ ounces}[/tex]
To find the correct ratio, simply multiply the number of oranges and number of fluid ounces by 4. The correct equality should be:
[tex]\frac{4\ oranges}{6\ ounces}=\frac{16\ oranges}{24\ ounces}[/tex]
The ratio should be 16/24
sample explanation:
The second ratio in the proportion is set up as ounces over oranges. The units should be in the same place in the proportion as the first ratio.
