Answer

7:43

Step by Step:

50 - 7 = 43

You take out those seven tickets from the fifty, because if not, there would be 57 tickets total. This leaves 7:43. The seven is first because the odds are in the "winning tickets" favor.

Hope This Helps :)

Answer: The odds would be A.7:43

Step-by-step explanation: Since there are 50 tickets total and 7 of them are winning tickets, the ratio would be 7:43, because if you add them both up there are still 50 tickets total.
