Q. Quinn has a large family. She has 44 cousins who live in Texas, 33 cousins who live in Nebraska, and the other 99 cousins who live in Michigan.\newlineWhat is the ratio of Quinn's cousins who live in Texas to her total number of cousins?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 33 to 1616\newline(B) 44 to 1616\newline(C) 77 to 1616\newline(D) 99 to 1616
  1. Calculate total cousins: Calculate the total number of cousins Quinn has.\newlineQuinn has 44 cousins in Texas, 33 in Nebraska, and 99 in Michigan. To find the total, we add these numbers together.\newline44 (Texas) + 33 (Nebraska) + 99 (Michigan) = 1616 (Total cousins)
  2. Write Texas ratio: Write the ratio of cousins in Texas to the total number of cousins.\newlineQuinn has 44 cousins in Texas and 1616 cousins in total. The ratio is therefore 44 to 1616.
  3. Simplify if possible: Simplify the ratio, if possible.\newlineThe ratio 44 to 1616 can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 44.\newline(4÷4)(4 \div 4) to (16÷4)=1(16 \div 4) = 1 to 44\newlineHowever, the question does not ask for a simplified ratio, so we should leave it as 44 to 1616 to match the answer choices.
