A motor pool tracks the inventory of tactical vehicles and support vehicles assigned to different units. Match each unit's vehicle inventory to its equivalent simplified ratio of tactical vehicles to support vehicles.

Alpha Unit: $45$ tactical and $15$ support $3:1$
Bravo Unit: $24$ tactical and $32$ support $3:4$
Charlie Unit: $42$ tactical and $18$ support $7:3$
Delta Unit: $35$ tactical and $25$ support $7:5$

Cevap

Alpha matches to

3:1

, Bravo matches to

3:4

, Charlie matches to

7:3

, and Delta matches to

7:5

Each correct pairing is identified by writing the initial inventory as a part-to-part ratio in the specified order (tactical to support), then reducing the numbers by dividing both terms by their greatest common divisor.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Set up the initial ratio for Alpha Unit as tactical to support.

45:15

The question specifically asks for the ratio of tactical vehicles to support vehicles in that exact order.

Simplify the ratio for Alpha Unit by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD).

3:1

The GCD of

45

and

15

15

45 \div 15 = 3

and

15 \div 15 = 1

Set up and simplify the ratio for Bravo Unit (

24

32

3:4

The GCD of

24

and

32

8

24 \div 8 = 3

and

32 \div 8 = 4

Set up and simplify the ratio for Charlie Unit (

42

18

7:3

The GCD of

42

and

18

6

42 \div 6 = 7

and

18 \div 6 = 3

Set up and simplify the ratio for Delta Unit (

35

25

7:5

The GCD of

35

and

25

5

35 \div 5 = 7

and

25 \div 5 = 5
