CARNIVALS Brighton Middle School had 6 food booths and 15 games
booths at its carnival. A total of 66 adults and 165 children attended. The

Determine whether the ratios are equivalent. Explain.- 20 female lions to 8 male lions, 12. $4 for every 16 ounces,
34 female lions to 10 male lions $10 for every 40 ounces - 24 guests to 3 tables, 14. 8 roses to 6 babies breath,
32 guests to 4 tables 12 roses to 10 babies breath - 20 cards to 22 envelopes, 16. 3 basketballs to 12 players,
80 cards to 88 envelopes 4 basketballs to 20 players - BAKING It is recommended that ham be baked 1 hour for every 2 pounds.
Latrell baked a 9-pound ham for 4.5 hours. Did he follow the
recommendation? Justify your answer. - FISHING Katrina catches two similar looking fish. The larger fish is
12 inches long and 3 inches wide. The smaller fish is 6 inches long and
1 inch wide. Do these fish have equivalent length-to-width ratios? Justify
your answer. - MUSIC The pitch of a musical note is measured by the number of sound
waves per second, or hertz. If the ratio of the frequencies of two notes
can be simplified to common fractions, the two notes are harmonious.
Use the information below to determine if notes E and G are harmonious.
Explain.
E : 330 Hertz G : 396 Hertz
