Question

There are 300 raisins in 5 boxes of raisins. Which of the following expresses the ratio of boxes to raisins?

Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

1:60

Explanation:

Because no ratios have been included, I will just find the simplified version. To simplify a number you need to find the highest number that goes into both numbers. In this case it is 5.

Now, divide both sides by 5:

`(300)/(5) : (5)/(1)`

Or:

60 : 1

So the ratio of raisins to boxes is 60:1, or 1:60 for boxes to raisins.

Hope this helps!
