Rachel has a certain number of pencils in her locker. She has 12 sharpened pencils and 32 unsharpened pencils. What is the ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils?

sharpened to unsharpened = 3 : 8

for every 3 sharpened pencil, there are 8 unsharpened pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

12s : 32u

12/32

divide both by 4

3/8

ratio = 3:8

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
