Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

The ratio of action movies to drama movies = 5: 4

Explanation:

Here, the number of Action movies shown = 555

And, the number of Drama movies shown = 444

Now, the ratio of action movies to dramas

=
`\frac{\textrm{The Number of Action Movies shown}}{\textrm{The number of Dramamovies shown}}`

=
`(555)/(444)  = (5  * 111)/(4 * 111)  = (5)/(4)`

Hence, the ratio of action movies to dramas = 5: 4
