Question

An amusement park sold 15 child tickets. The other 35 tickets it sold were

adult tickets. What is the ratio of the number of adult tickets to the number of
child tickets?

Answer 1

3 : 7

Explanation:

Ratio

Ratios are Proportinalised Numbers that we can use to compare number of units relative to the other value.

Eg. 3 : 15 = 1 : 5

Solution

Given Information from the Question:

15 Child Tickets : 35 Adult Tickets

Now we reduce them to simplest form.

(15 ÷ 5) : (35 ÷ 5) = 3 : 7.

Therefore the ratio of Child Tickets to Adult Tickets is 3 : 7.
