During 1 hour of television there are 2 shows on. What is the ratio of hours to shows? If you watch 3 hours of television, what will the ratio be?

Respuesta :

1. Would it be 1 to 2 2. Or 1 to 3

Answer:

During 1 hour of television there are 2 shows on.   The ratio is 1:2

If you watch 3 hours of television, the ratio is 3:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion is a term that comes from the proportional Latin word. It is the correspondence, balance or symmetry that exists between the components of a whole. The proportion can be calculated between the elements and the whole or between the elements themselves.

For example: "To prepare this cocktail, you must use cognac and rum in a ratio of two to one: every two measures of cognac, add one of rum",

The proportion implies an equality that exists between two reasons. In general, the proportions are written as fractions: in this way, when performing cross-multiplication, an equation can be established and the different proportions known.
