Express the ratio as a fraction in simplest form:18 ounces to 3 cups. (Hint) 1 cup = 8 ounces

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The question:

18 ouces : 3 cups

To successfully obtain the above ratio in it's simplest form, we must first express the above in the same units.

Here, we shall convert from cup to ounce. This is illustrated below:

1 cup = 8 ounces

Therefore, 3 cups = 3 x 8 = 24 ounces

Thus,

18 ouces : 3 cups => 18 ounces : 24 ounces

Now, we can obtain the ratio as a fraction in it's simplest form as follows

18 ounces : 24 ounces => 18/24 = 3/4

Thus, the ratio as a fraction in it's simplest form is 3/4

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
