Question

Can someone solve these for me so I can understand I’m suppose to practice but I’m so confused can someone work out the problems on paper for me? You don’t have to go all of them just 2 or more

Answer 1

1. The ratio is 6:14 or 6/14, 3:7 or 3/7.

2. 2/8 or 1 out of 4.

4. At approximately 16c

a cup, Folgers Coffee is better value than Seattle's Best which costs 18c a cup.

Explanation:

1. Talley, ratios work like fractions. The ratio is 6:14 or 6/14, which reduces to 3:7 or 3/7.

2. If 8 out of 10 prefer Crest, then 2 out of 10 do not. The ratio of those who do not prefer Crest (2) to those that do prefer Crest (8) is 2/8 or 1 out of 4.

4. To find the respective value per cup, divide the prices give by the number of cups they represent. We shall represent Folgers Coffee by f and Seattle's Best by s

.

f = 12.88/80

= 0.161

Folgers Coffee is approximately 16

c per cup.

s = 9.00/50

s = 0.18

I dont have room so i'll put it in the comments
