Name: 1. The ratio of pens to pencils in a box is 3 candy o 5 if there are 96 pens and
pencils in the box altogether, how many more pens should be put in the box
to make the ratio of pens to pencils 1:1
A 22
B. 23

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason it's A is because to make the ratio 1:1 you need to have a whole number you can't have half a pencil or pen, so what you need to do is add 22 and 96 and divide you should get 59, but if you add 23 to 96 and divide you get 59.5 and you can't have half a pencil (you can but that's not what were looking for). So in problems like this add and then divide by 2 and choose whole numbers because you can't have half in ratios cause that won't give the correct answer.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
