Do you agree??? Why???


When the ratio of red to blue buttons is 3:1, that means you have 4 buttons. Do you agree? Why?

    No 1 unit might 6,7... buttons we do not know until we see the picture or at least read the question.

    No,i do not agree.3-1 is ust the units for the red and and blue buttons so it doesn't mean i have 4 buttons but it actually means 4 units the red and blue buttons.

    No, I do not agree.
    The ratio 3:1 is 3units to 1unit.
    1 unit may not be 1.
    1 unit may be 2,3,4,5...and so on
    Unless the question says that 1 unit is equal to 1, 1 unit may not be 1.

    NO, I DON'T AGREE. 3:1 IS THE UNITS NOT THE NUMBER LIKE WHAT SYAMIN SAID.

    It can be more than four or four.(Because the buttons may be group into some groups)

    No,I do not agree. 3:1 does not mean that it is 3+1.3:1 can also mean that it is 4x3 buttons to 3 buttons...etc.

    No, I don't agree. 3:1 is the units not the number of buttons.

    no way!never agree to that!we do not know
    whatthe number is.it can be any number.
    it means 4 units.3groups and 1 group.
    not 1+3.this is ratio.

    No I do not agree as 4 is not equal to the number 4,it is equal to 4 units

  16. An QiApril 6, 2010 at 11:39 AM

    No,i do not agree to it.3:1 is not equal to 4 buttons.It equals to groups.It might also equal to 6:2.When divided,it equals to 3:1.So,3:1 is not equal to 4 buttons.

    1 may not be one 1,3 may not be 3.So,1:3 may not be =4.

    No,I do not agree because the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 1:3 and it is in units, not the number of marbles. :)

    Daryl, why do you agree?
    Can you explain why?

  21. zacharyApril 6, 2010 at 11:40 AM

    no,I do not agree as the ratio represents the amount of red to blue buttons

    Why did you say you can either agree or disagree, Jasmine?

    No,I do not agree. 1:3 is the units, not the number of buttons.

  25. EliseApril 6, 2010 at 11:43 AM

    No,I don't agree.3 only represents 3 units for the red.1 unit only represents 1 unit for red.

  26. sharanApril 6, 2010 at 11:43 AM

    The number of red buttons is 3.The number of blue buttons is 1.So,it is 3+1=4

  27. jordonteoApril 6, 2010 at 11:44 AM

    no i do not agree .the real answer may be simplified to 3 to 1

  28. DarrylApril 6, 2010 at 11:52 AM

    1 =1 units 3=3 units

    no I do not agree
    3:1 is only the units

    The number of red buttons is 3.The number of blue buttons is 1.So,it is 3+1=4

  31. limwaiyeeApril 6, 2010 at 11:55 AM

    i agree.......

    because a button is always a button....
    and even if it is a different colour.....
    it is still a button.............

    so 1+3=4.....

    so it is 4 buttons.....

  32. Elson LimApril 6, 2010 at 11:55 AM

    Possible and impossible it can be 3 blue buttons and 1 red button and it can be 3 units of blue buttons and 1 unit of blue buttons

  33. xyApril 6, 2010 at 11:55 AM

    No.The ratio may be 12:4 in its simplest form.

    I think Zavier is correct

  35. Boominathan PushpanathanApril 6, 2010 at 11:57 AM

    I do not agree with it as it can be simplified to the smallest term.Maybe,the exact ratio is 9:3.
