Hannah and Priya are making friendship bracelets using beads. Hannah uses 3 blue beads for every 5 green beads. If they want to maintain the same ratio, how many blue and green beads should Priya use?

• 6 blue beads and 10 green beads

• 4 blue beads and 6 green beads

• 1 blue bead and 2 green beads

• 8 blue beads and 12 green beads

Answer explanation

To maintain the same ratio as Hannah, Priya should use 6 blue beads and 10 green beads. This ensures that for every 3 blue beads, there are 5 green beads, just like Hannah's ratio. This choice is the correct one because it follows the given ratio and maintains the friendship bracelet design. The question asks for the number of blue and green beads Priya should use, and this option satisfies that requirement.

Avery and Oliver are dividing a pizza into 6 and 10 equal parts respectively. Find an equivalent ratio to represent the number of pizza slices they have.

• 3:5

• 8:12

• 4:5

• 2:3

Answer explanation

To find an equivalent ratio for the number of pizza slices Avery and Oliver have, we need to simplify the fractions. Avery has 6 parts out of 10, which simplifies to 3 parts out of 5. So, the equivalent ratio is 3:5. This represents the number of pizza slices they have.

Aria, Anika, and Elijah are planning to split a pizza. They want to divide it in a 12:18 ratio. What is an equivalent ratio they can use to divide the pizza?

• 2:3

• 8:12

• 4:6

• 6:9

Answer explanation

To divide the pizza in a 12:18 ratio, we need to find an equivalent ratio. The correct choice is 2:3, which simplifies to 12:18. This means that for every 2 parts, Aria, Anika, and Elijah will get 3 parts of the pizza. So, they can divide the pizza using the ratio 2:3.
