The correct answer is:
Start Fraction 2 over 4 End Fraction
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, you need to divide the number of pants by the number of shirts.
In this case, Elijah brought 6 pants and Josiah brought 10 shirts.
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 6/10.
Simplifying this fraction gives us 3/5.
So the correct answer is: Start Fraction 3 over 5 End Fraction.
To find the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts, we need to compare the number of pants he brought to the number of shirts he brought.
According to the information given, Josiah brought 6 shirts and 4 pants, while together they brought a total of 10 shirts and 6 pants.
To find out how many shirts Elijah brought, we subtract the number of shirts Josiah brought from the total number of shirts:
10 shirts - 6 shirts = 4 shirts
So, Elijah brought 4 shirts.
Now, we can calculate the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts by dividing the number of pants by the number of shirts:
Elijah's pants / Elijah's shirts = 4 pants / 4 shirts
Simplifying this ratio, we get:
Start Fraction 4 over 4 End Fraction
This simplifies to:
1
Therefore, the ratio of Elijah's pants to shirts is 1.

$$
The part-to-whole ratio for the 6th-grade average of 79-70 can be determined by dividing the number of students in that average range by the total number of students.
For the 6th-grade average of 79-70, there are 27 students.
Therefore, the part-to-whole ratio can be written as:
27 : (32 + 65 + 27)
