Justin and desiree each wrote a ratio comparing the numbers of students and tables in their classroom. there are 6 tables in the room with 4 students at each table.

justin states that the ratio is 4: 1.
desiree insists the ratio is 24: 6.

they both ask luke to tell them which ratio is correct. which statement below would be the best answer for luke?

Desiree and Justin have the same ratio, Justin's is just simplified.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take Desiree's ratio and divide both sides by 5

24:6

24/6 : 6/6

4:1

This is the same ratio as Justin

Both ratio's are the same

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
