Question

Alice went shopping for shirts. she purchased 4 blue shirts and 5 yellow shirts. what is the ratio of blue shirts to the total number of shirts that she purchased?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 : 9

Explanation:

Total number of blue shirts purchased by Alice = 4

Total number of yellow shirts purchased by Alice = 5

Hence, total number of shirts purchase by her = 4 + 5

= 9

Therefore, Ratio of number of blue shirts to the total number of shirts

`=(Total~number~of~blue~shirts)/(Total~number~of~shirts)`

`=(4)/(9)`

Hence, Ratio = 4 : 9
