Question

Kaleb had 136 songs on his mp3 player. if he deleted 56 songs, what is the ratio of songs he kept to songs he deleted

Answer 1

Kalevala now has 80 songs left. 136-56=80
So the ratio is 80:56
Or 80 to 56

Answer 2

80/56 = 1.42

Explanation:

Total songs = 136

Number deleted = 56

Number kept = 136-56 = 80

The ratio of songs kept to songs deleted = 80/56 = 1.42

The proportions or ratio are used to compare quantities with each other, and are usually written with a colon (:) intermediate.
