Question

You want a snack. One cookie has 130 calories. An orange has 35 calories. What is the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie?

Answer 1

7:26

Explanation:

Hey there!

You could represent this situation by putting the calories of one snack on one side of the ratio and doing the same with other snack on the other side:

35:130, meaning that for every 35 calories an orange has, a cookie has 130 calories

You could simplify this by dividing both numbers by 5.

, meaning that for every 7 calories an orange has, a cookie has 25 calories

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer 2

1:3 would be the ratio
