Question

Johan works in a cafe.

One morning he sells 48 cups of tea and 12 cups of coffee.
Write down the ratio of the number of cups of tea to the number of cups of coffee.
Write your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

4:1

Explanation:

The ratio at first would be 48:12, after this to simplify it we need to find the gcf (greatest/biggest common factor), which is 12. Dividing 48 by 12 gives us 4 and dividing 12 by 12 gives us 1, thus making the ratio 4:1
