Q. Jake is making bracelets to give to his sisters. He uses 44 rainbow charms and 88 white star charms for his younger sister's bracelet. He makes his older sister's bracelet a little bigger, so he uses 55 rainbow charms and 1010 white star charms. Does Jake use the same ratio of rainbow charms to white star charms in both bracelets?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no
  1. Calculate ratio for younger sister: Step 11: Calculate the ratio of rainbow charms to white star charms for the younger sister's bracelet.\newlineNumber of rainbow charms: 44\newlineNumber of white star charms: 88\newlineRatio = Number of rainbow charms / Number of white star charms = 4/8=1/24 / 8 = 1 / 2
  2. Calculate ratio for older sister: Step 22: Calculate the ratio of rainbow charms to white star charms for the older sister's bracelet. Number of rainbow charms: 55 Number of white star charms: 1010 Ratio = Number of rainbow charms / Number of white star charms = 5/10=1/25 / 10 = 1 / 2
  3. Compare ratios: Step 33: Compare the ratios from Step 11 and Step 22.\newlineRatio for younger sister's bracelet = 12\frac{1}{2}\newlineRatio for older sister's bracelet = 12\frac{1}{2}\newlineSince both ratios are equal, Jake uses the same ratio of rainbow charms to white star charms in both bracelets.
