Question

At Jacks ice cream shop, a customer receives a free ice cream cone for every 5 ice cream cones the customer purchases. What is the ratio of the number if ice cream cones a customer purchases to the total number of ice cream cones the customer purchases and receives for free?

Answer 1

1:5

Explanation:

It is 1:5 since you get 1 ice cream for free from purchasing 5 . If the question said When you purchase 5 you get 1 free it would be 5:1

Answer 2

For every 5 ice-cream cones there is one free one which would mean that you would have 5 over one as your answer.
