Question

There are 8000 sheets of paper in 16 reams. which of the following express the ratio of sheets to reams in simplest from?

A 8:4000
B 1:500
c 4000:8
D 500:1

Answer 1

The answer is B. 1:500 Hope this helps! and good luck to you!

Answer 2

Answer: B 1:500

Explanation:

Given : The number of sheets of paper = 8000

The number of reams = 16

Then , the ratio of sheets to reams is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Number of reams}}{\text{Number of sheets}}=(16)/(8000)`

Dividing both numerator and denominator by 16, we get

`(1)/(500)`

Hence, the ratio of sheets to reams in simplest from = 1:500
