Mrs. ripple was analyzing how much better the dodgers or than the giants. she noticed that the dodgers won five out of every seven games that they played against them. if the dodgers won 40 games against the giants how many games were played between the two teams?

The Answer is: 56 games between the two teams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a ratio on both sides of the equal sign:

5 / 7 = 40 / x

5 * x = 40 * 7

5x = 280

x = 280 / 5 = 56.

Another way to solve it:

5 / 7 multiply by 8/8 to get 40 / 56.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
