Question

ASAP PLEASEE The relationship between the number of pies-to-cakes chosen by middle school students as their favorite dessert is shown in the table.

Pie 36 42 60
Cake D 7 B
Total C A 70

What is the value of C in the table?

6
10
42
49​​

Answer 1

Answer: A) 6

Explanation:

The ratio can be found by looking at the last column. If there are 60 pies and 70 items total, then the amount of pies would be 10.

This would make the ratio 6:1, or 6 pies for every 1 cake.

This can be confirmed by looking at the second column. If you treat the numbers like a fraction 42/7, you would once again get 6/1, as 42 divided by 7 is 6.
