Question

A teacher likes to bake cookies and she regularly brings some to school to share with both students and teachers. One day the teacher brought 62 cookies and distributed 26 to the students and the remaining number to the teachers. Given the scenario above determine the ratio of student cookies to teacher cookies.Write your ratio with integers in reduced form.

Answer 1

13/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to identify the number of teacher cookies. So, subtracting the number of student cookies to the total number of cookies, we get:

62 cookies - 26 student cookies = 36 teacher cookies

Now, the ratio of student cookies to teacher cookies is equal to the division of 26 by 36. So, it can be expressed as:

`Ratio=(26)/(36)=(26/2)/(36/2)=(13)/(18)`

Therefore, the ratio is 13/18
