Correct Answer
B. RatioExplanation
A ratio is a comparison between two quantities or numbers. It represents the relationship or proportion between the two quantities. In a ratio, the quantities are compared using a colon or a fraction. For example, a ratio of 2:3 represents that the first quantity is two-thirds of the second quantity. Ratios are used to compare and analyze data in various fields such as mathematics, finance, and statistics.Rate this question:

- C.
Unit rate
- D.
Rate
Correct Answer
A. ProportionExplanation
A proportion is a statement that two ratios are equivalent. It compares two ratios and states that they are equal to each other. In other words, a proportion shows that the relationship between the two ratios remains the same. Therefore, the answer "proportion" is correct because it accurately describes the concept of two ratios being equivalent.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. EqualExplanation
The word "equal" means that two or more things are the same in quantity, size, value, or importance. It suggests that there is no difference or distinction between the things being compared. In the context of the given options, "equal" is the most appropriate choice as it best conveys the idea of things being identical or having the same value.Rate this question:

Putting a fraction or ratio in LOWEST TERMS
- A.
Simplify
- B.
Reduce
- C.
Make small
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. SimplifyExplanation
The correct answer is "simplify" because when a fraction or ratio is in its lowest terms, it means that it has been simplified or reduced as much as possible. This involves dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor to make the fraction or ratio smaller and easier to work with. Therefore, "simplify" is the best explanation for the given correct answer.Rate this question:

Which is NOT the correct way to say a ratio?
- A.
1:4
- B.
1 to 4
- C.
1 out of 4
- D.
One fourth
Correct Answer
D. One fourthExplanation
The phrase "one fourth" is not the correct way to express a ratio. Ratios are typically expressed using numbers separated by a colon (1:4), the word "to" (1 to 4), or the phrase "out of" (1 out of 4). However, "one fourth" is a fraction, not a ratio.Rate this question:

- A.
9:12
- B.
6:12
- C.
12:9
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. 9:12Explanation
The ratio 9:12 is equivalent to 3:4 because both ratios can be simplified to the same fraction. When we divide both 9 and 12 by their greatest common divisor, which is 3, we get 3:4. Therefore, 9:12 is equivalent to 3:4.Rate this question:

- C.
8:35
- D.
12:53
Correct Answer
C. 8:35Explanation

Review: Percent means out of...
- A.
1
- B.
10
- C.
100
- D.
1,000
Correct Answer
C. 100Explanation
Percent means "out of 100". It is a way of expressing a fraction or a portion of a whole in terms of 100 equal parts. For example, 50 percent means 50 out of 100, or half of the whole. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 because percent is based on dividing a value by 100.Rate this question:
