A city is analyzing its family friendly environment. There are 36 parks for
5,796 residents. What is the rate of
the relationship between the number
of residents and the number of parks?
please help

there are 161 residents per a park

Explanation:

I think they are asking to write a ratio, not really sure

But if there are 5,796 residents for 36 parks, then it can be written in format of residents: parks, residents to parks, or residents/ parks.

so the ratio is 5796/36 and to find the relationship between them, you have to find out how many residents there are per a park, for that divide the numerator and the denominator by 36, so it will be

5796/36 and 36/36

5796/36=161

36/36=1

so, the simplified ratio or fraction is 161/1

there are 161 residents per a park
