Question

A jar contains 660 beans. Of them, 440 are kidney beans and the rest are cranberry

beans. What is the ratio of kidney beans to all beans?

Answer 1

440:660 OR Simplified 2:3

Explanation:

You already had the two numbers for the ratio, they added the cranberry beans in the sentence like that to confuse you and draw you away from the real answer. All you needed to do was arrange the numbers into a ratio, and simplify.

These problems are meant to to be confusing, so to stay away from the confusing parts, just reread them and you'll get it correct 24/7!

Hope you get this right.
