Every female rabbit has 5 baby rabbits. What is the constant of proportionality for the ratio of baby rabbits to female rabbits? one-fourth 5 4 one-fifth

@Abhisar

4. Abhisar

Ratio = $$\sf \frac{Mother~rabbit}{Baby~rabbit~she~has}$$

5. anonymous

the proportion would be 5/1, which simplifies to 5 so the second one

6. anonymous

1/5?

7. candyme

Well, for every 5 babies there is 1 female momma. So a 5:1 ratio. If it is Mothers to Babies, then @Abhisar is correct. If it is Babies to Mothers, then it would be 5. It all depends on the exact wording of the question.

8. anonymous

it would be 1/5 if it asked the ratio of female rabbits to baby rabbits but they switched it around so its the other way, 5/1

9. anonymous

so b

10. anonymous

yes

11. Abhisar

Yes, that would be the ratio for Mother to Bay rabbits, but I just realized that the question is asking the ratio of baby rabbits to Mother rabbit. So just flip it down c:
