A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

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

Total number of favorite movies is

`8+6+5+1=20`

Therefore Colton has 20 movies in the list of favorite movies.

For every 5 movies on the list, there are 2 movies of required category.

`(2)/(5)* (4)/(4)=(8)/(20)`

For every 20 movies on the list, there are 8 movies of required category.

Out of 20 movies we have 8 comedy movies, therefore the required category is comedy movie.

The ratio of comedy movie and total movies is

`(8)/(20)=(2)/(5)`

Therefore we can say that for every 5 movies on the list, there are 2 comedy movies. Option A is correct.
