There are three boys and five girls on the t-ball team. Which of the following is a correct way of writing the ratio of boys to girls.
- \(\mathsf{ \frac{5}{3} }\)
- 5:3
- 3:5
- \(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{3} }\)
Since there are three boys for every five girls, you can write the ratio 3:5 in odds notation. You could also have written this as the fraction \(\mathsf{ \frac{3}{5} }\).

The following two rectangles are similar, true or false?
- true
- false
The proportion of corresponding sides, \(\mathsf{ \frac{8}{4} = \frac{12}{6} }\), is true, therefore these rectangles are similar.
The proportion of corresponding sides, \(\mathsf{ \frac{8}{4} = \frac{12}{6} }\), is true, therefore these rectangles are similar.
The following two triangles are similar, true or false?
- true
- false
These two triangles are not similar. The corresponding sides are not in proportion to each other since \(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{4} \neq \frac{4}{10} }\).
These two triangles are not similar. The corresponding sides are not in proportion to each other since \(\mathsf{ \frac{1}{4} \neq \frac{4}{10} }\).
