Ratio of the number of corn tortillas to the number of flour is 4: 6. what is the ratio of the number of flour tortillas to the total number of tortillas

Explanation:

First, let's make clear that the correct wording is that the ratio of the number of corn tortillas to the number of flour tortillas is 4:6.

From that, you must determine the ratio of the number of flour tortillas to the total number of tortillas.

You can do it with the help of a chart that you can build from the ratio of the number of corn tortillas to to the number of flour tortillas:

       # Corn tortillas       # Flour tortillas       #Total tortillas

                 4                               6                           10

Now, the ratio of the number of flour tortillas to the number of total tortillas is:

              r =  # flour tortillas / # total tortillas = 6:10

That ratio may be simplified by dividing by the greatest common divisor of 6 and 10, which is 2:

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
