At Fireflies Kids Camp, 4 out of the 10 kids in the yellow cabin are taking swimming lessons. In the blue cabin, 5 out of the 15 kids are taking swimming lessons. Do both cabins have the same ratio of swimmers to total kids?

Both cabins do not have the same ratio of swimmers to total kids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of swimmers to total kids in the yellow cabin is:

4 : 10

The ratio of swimmers to total kids in the blue cabin is:

5 : 15

4 : 10 and 5 : 15 are not equivalent ratios because:

LCM of 10 and 15 is 30

Multiply each term in a ratio by a number so that the second term is 30:

4 x 3 = 12

10 x 3 = 30

4 : 10 = 12 : 30

5 x 2 = 10

15 x 2 = 30

5 : 15 = 10 : 30

12 : 30 and 10 : 30 are NOT the same ratios.

Hope this helps!

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three

13.5 : 3
