Short Answer

Using the archery information above, compare the number of misses to the number of shots using a ratio. Write the ratio in three ways.

The ratio of the number of misses to the number of shots is $\frac{4}{15}$ .

The three ways to write the ratio are given by $\frac{4}{15}, 4 to 15,and 4:15$ .

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1 . Given

Given that:

The number of arrows shot is 60.

The number of hits is 44.

The number of misses is 16.

Step 2 . To determine

We have to find the ratio of the number of misses to the number of shots.

Then we have to write the ratio in three ways.

Step 3 . Calculation

We present the ratio of number of misses to number of shots as a fraction,

$\frac{number of misses}{number of shots} = \frac{16}{60}$ .

Then we simplify the fraction,

$\frac{number of misses}{number of shots} = \frac{4}{15}$ . [Divide out the common factors]

After that, we write the ratio in three ways:

$\frac{4}{15}, 4 to 15,and 4:15$ .

So, the required ratio of number of misses to the number of shots =. $\frac{4}{15}$

Three ways are given by $\frac{4}{15}, 4 to 15,and 4:15$ .
