Using the word HIPPOPOTAMUS, match the items in the left column to the items in the right column 1 the ratio of P's to O's

2. the ratio of O's to other letters

3. the ratio of letters to P's

4. the ratio of vowels to consonants

5. the ratio of total letters to consonants

The right column has 3:2,12:7,1:5,5:7,4:1

(see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios are simple: they describe the amount of something compared to another amount.

Ratios are [number] : [number]. Use this format for your answers:

For 1, finding the ratio of P's to O's means to count P's, then O's.

HIPPOPOTAMUS

There are 3 P's and 2 O's, so 3:2.

For 2—ratio of O's to the other letters, do the same thing:

HIPPOPOTAMUS

There are 2 O's and 12 total letters, so 2:12. However, we can simplify that to 1:6.

For 3, the ratio of letters to P's:

There are 3 P's and 12 total letters, so 12:3. We can simplify it to 4:1.

For 4, the ratio of vowels to consonants:

The vowels are a, e, i, o, u. The consonants are all the other ones.

So, in:

HIPPOPOTAMUS

There are 5 vowels and 7 consonants, so 5:7.

For 5, the ratio of total letters to consonants,

there are 12 total letters and 7 consonants, so 12:7.

abde or 1,2,4, 5 is the answer
