Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Two ponds are stocked with fish. Pond A adds 36 fish over 9 weeks. Pond B adds 55 fish over 14 weeks. Compare fish:weeks. Ratio 1: 36 fish to 9 weeks. Ratio 2: 55 fish to 14 weeks. Which answer choice correctly compares the two ratios?
ARatio 1 is less than Ratio 2.
BRatio 1 is equal to Ratio 2.
CThe ratios cannot be compared.
DRatio 1 is greater than Ratio 2.
Solution & Explanation:Unit rates: 36 divided by 9 = 4 fish per week and 55 divided by 14 is about 3.93 fish per week. Ratio 1 is greater than Ratio 2.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A library spends $84 to buy 12 new books. Another library spends $150 to buy 22 new books. Compare books:dollars (books per dollar). Ratio 1: 12 books to $84. Ratio 2: 22 books to $150. Which answer choice correctly compares the two ratios?
ARatio 1 is greater than Ratio 2.
BRatio 1 is equal to Ratio 2.
CRatio 1 is less than Ratio 2.
DThe ratios cannot be compared.
Solution & Explanation:Compare 12 to 84 and 22 to 150 by cross-multiplying: 12×150 = 1800 and 22×84 = 1848. Since 1800 < 1848, Ratio 1 is less than Ratio 2.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A field trip group has 14 adults and 49 students. Another group has 12 adults and 36 students. Compare adults:students. Ratio 1: 14 adults to 49 students. Ratio 2: 12 adults to 36 students. Which answer choice correctly compares the two ratios?
ARatio 1 is greater than Ratio 2.
BRatio 1 is less than Ratio 2.
CRatio 1 is equal to Ratio 2.
DThe ratios cannot be compared.
Solution & Explanation:Simplify: 14 to 49 becomes 2 to 7, and 12 to 36 becomes 1 to 3. Cross-multiply: 2×3 = 6 and 1×7 = 7. Ratio 1 is less than Ratio 2.
