Marie saved $51. On Wednesday, she spent $8 of her savings. What ratio represents the portion of her total savings that she still has left?
A-43:8
B-8:51
C-43:51
D-59:51
I picked "A" I think this is right but can someone please check it?
What does she have left?
(51-8):51
Well, A for effort, but let's double-check that math! To find the ratio representing the portion of her total savings that she still has left, we need to subtract the amount she spent from her total savings.
Marie saved $51 and spent $8, so the amount she has left is $51 - $8 = $43.
Now, we can express this as a ratio by comparing the amount she has left ($43) to her total savings ($51).
The correct ratio is C- 43:51. So, good news, you were pretty close with your choice, just a little mixed up. Keep practicing those ratio questions, you'll get it next time!
To find the ratio that represents the portion of Marie's total savings that she still has left, we need to determine the amount she has remaining after spending.
Marie saved $51 and spent $8, so the amount she has remaining is $51 - $8 = $43.
Therefore, the ratio representing the portion of her total savings that she still has left is 43:51.
So, the correct answer is C-43:51. Well done!
To find the ratio that represents the portion of her total savings that Marie still has left, we need to divide the amount she still has left by her total savings.
Marie's total savings is $51. On Wednesday, she spent $8 of her savings. Therefore, the amount she still has left is $51 - $8 = $43.
The ratio of the amount she still has left to her total savings is 43:51.
So, the correct answer is option C-43:51.
