Division in Given Ratio Practice Problems & Solutions

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the number of fingers, which is typically 10.
• Step 2: Identify the number of toes, which is also typically 10.
• Step 3: Write the ratio of fingers to toes.
• Step 4: Simplify the ratio.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The typical number of fingers on a human is $10$.
Step 2: The typical number of toes on a human is $10$.
Step 3: The ratio of fingers to toes is $10:10$.
Step 4: Simplifying this ratio $10:10$ gives us $1:1$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $1:1$, which corresponds to answer choice 4.

To find the ratio of apples to oranges, divide the number of apples by the number of oranges.
Therefore, $\text{apples:oranges} = \frac{15}{10} = 3:2$.
Thus, the ratio of apples to oranges is $3:2$.

To find the ratio of flour to sugar, divide the amount of flour by the amount of sugar.
Thus, we have $\text{flour:sugar} = \frac{400}{200} = 2:1$.
Therefore, the ratio of flour to sugar is $2:1$.

The total volume of water that fills the tank is $20$ liters over $5$ minutes. The flow rate is given by the volume divided by time:
$\text{Flow Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Volume}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$
Thus, the water flows at a rate of $4$ liters per minute.

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the total number of oranges that grow, which is 8.
• Step 2: Note the total number of days in which the 8 oranges grow, which is 4 days.
• Step 3: Apply the formula for the growth rate: $\text{Growth rate} = \frac{\text{Total number of oranges}}{\text{Total number of days}}$.
• Step 4: Calculate the growth rate by dividing 8 by 4.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem gives us a total of 8 oranges.
Step 2: These oranges grow over a period of 4 days.
Step 3: Using the formula, we find the growth rate: $\frac{8}{4} = 2$ oranges per day.

Therefore, the solution is that the growth rate is 2 oranges per day.
