Marcy goal was to collect 10 cans of food for a local food bank. She collected 160 cans use the grid to model to understand how to write this as a ratio, a fraction
We're told that Marcy collected 160 out of 10 cans. That could be expressed as 160/10, but given that the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 10, we can factor that out and express it as 16/1. You can also express it as ratio of 16:1 cans collected to cans intended.
