Question

Colton has 8 comedy movies, 6 action movies, 5 fantasy movies, and 1 drama movie on his list of favorite movies.

for every 5 movies on the list, there are 2 _____ movies

Answer 1

For every 5 movies on his list, there are 2 comedy movies.

Answer 2

For every 5 movies on the list there are 2 comedy movies.

Explanation:

In this question Colton has comedy movies = 8

Action movies = 6

Fantasy movies = 5

Drama movies = 1

So total number of movies in his favorite list = 8+6+5+1 = 20

Now we have to calculate the ratio of each kind of movie out of total number of movies.

The ratio of Comedy movie to the total
`=(8)/(20)`
`=(2)/(5)`

Ratio of Action movies to the total
`=(6)/(20) =(3)/(10)`

Ratio of Fantasy movie to the total=
`(5)/(20) =(1)/(4)`

and the ratio of drama to the total number of movies =
`(1)/(20)`

After analyzing these solutions we can say that for every 5 movies on the list, there are 2 comedy movies.
