Question

Jason bought a bag of mixed cookies and a gallon of milk. the bag of cookies contained 18 chocolate chip cookies and 20 oatmeal cookies. which of these shows the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal cookies in the simplest form?

Answer 1

18:20
9:10

Yeah, that's it

Answer 2

Answer: 9 : 10

Explanation:

Given : Number of chocolate chip cookies = 18

Number of oatmeal cookies = 20

We know that the ratio of A to B can be written as
`(A)/(B)`.

Then, the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal cookies will be written as

`\frac{\text{Number of chocolate chip cookies }}{\text{Number of oatmeal cookies}}`

`=(18)/(20)`

Since , 18 and 20 are multiple of 2 , so divide numerator and denominator by 2 , we get

`=(9)/(10)` , which is in the simplest form.

Hence, the ratio of chocolate chip cookies to oatmeal cookies in the simplest form = 9 : 10.
