What are ratio and proportion?
A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
Mrs. Humble is filling bags with peanuts to give as gifts.
Each bag will contain 1 and 3/5 pounds of peanuts.
The peanuts cost $4.95 per pound.
1 and 3/5 can be written as
[tex]1\dfrac{3}{5} = 1 + \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{5+ 3 }{5} = \dfrac{8}{5}[/tex]
Then the cost of 8/5 peanuts of one bag will be
[tex]\dfrac{8}{5} * 4.95 = \dfrac{39.6}{5} = 7.92[/tex]
The peanuts in one bag cost are $7.92.
