Write, as a ratio, the number of eggs in three boxes to the total number of eggs.
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Three boxes would be 18 eggs

total eggs = 30 boxes x 6 eggs/box = 180 eggs

So the ratio is :

18 : 180 <==== divide both sides by '18'

is the same as 1 ; 10
