the relationship between the number
of residents and the number of parks?
please help

there are 161 residents per a park

Explanation:

I think they are asking to write a ratio, not really sure

But if there are 5,796 residents for 36 parks, then it can be written in format of residents: parks, residents to parks, or residents/ parks.

so the ratio is 5796/36 and to find the relationship between them, you have to find out how many residents there are per a park, for that divide the numerator and the denominator by 36, so it will be

5796/36 and 36/36

5796/36=161

36/36=1

so, the simplified ratio or fraction is 161/1

there are 161 residents per a park
