Question

The ratio of gold charms to silver charms is 1:3. Which statement does not describe the relationship?

Answer 1

The ratio of gold charms to silver charms is 1:3, with 1 representing the number of gold charms and 3 representing the number of silver charms. The statement that does not describe the relationship is the one that does not accurately represent this ratio.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of gold charms to silver charms is 1:3. In this ratio, the first number (1) represents the number of gold charms, and the second number (3) represents the number of silver charms. Therefore, the statement that does not describe the relationship is the one that does not accurately represent this ratio.

Answer 2

If the ratio of gold to silver is 1:3, then for every gold charm, there are 3 silver charms. That is the opposite of the first choice, so the first choice does not describe the relationship, and is the correct answer.
