A box holds 12 cups of cereal. This amount is equivalent to 16 servings. Use a model to show the number of cups of cereal per serving and the number of servings per cup of cerealthis is ratios

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{12}{16} \\ =\frac{3}{4} \end{gathered}$$y=\frac{4}{3}$

so,

$\begin{gathered} x\colon y\text{ = }\frac{3}{4}\colon\frac{4}{3} \\ =9\colon16 \end{gathered}$

Hence ratio of the given two relations is 9 : 16
