Question

During swim practice Brandi swam 6 butterfly stroke laps and 8 freestyle laps. What is the ratio of freestyle laps to total laps.

Answer 1

4:7

Edit: I just saw the multiple choice options, in this case the right answer is:

8:14

but they're both equal

Explanation:

The ratio you are looking for is

freestyle laps : (freestyle + butterfly) laps

so:

8 : (6+8)

8:14

Divide by 2 to simplify

4:7
