Question

At the close of the day at a food stand, the following items remained: 7 hot dogs, 4 coney dogs, 3 bags of chips, 6 bags of peanuts, 2 bags of popcorn, and 12 packs of sunflower seeds. Write each ratio as a fraction in simplest form.

coney dogs to hot dogs

Answer 1

`ratio=(4)/(7)`

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of coney dogs remained

y ----> the number of hot dogs remained

we have

x=4,y=7

we know that

To find our the ratio of coney dogs to hot dogs, divide the number of coney dogs by the number of hot dogs

so

`ratio=(x)/(y)`

substitute the given values

`ratio=(4)/(7)`
