Answer 1

The ratio of white golf balls to yellow golf balls in the Elmlaw golf shop is 8:17.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of white golf balls to yellow golf balls in the Elmlaw golf shop is 32:68, or simplified as 8:17. To find the ratio, we divide the number of white golf balls by the total number of golf balls:

Ratio = White golf balls / Total golf balls

Ratio = 32 / 100

Ratio = 8 / 25

We can simplify the ratio by dividing both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:

Ratio = 8 / 25 = 2 / 5

Therefore, the ratio of white golf balls to yellow golf balls is 8:17.
