PLEASE HELP! The amusement park sold 125 sticks of cotton candy. Of those sold, 65 were blueberry-flavored. What division expression shows the fraction of cotton candy sticks that were blueberry-flavored?

Answer:

65 / 125, or 65:125 in ratio form.

Explanation:

The total number of cotton candy sticks was 125, and the number of blueberry-flavored sticks sold was 65. Therefore, the division expression for this equation is 65/125. Hope that helps!

Answer:

65/125

Explanation:

because if 125 in total were sold that would be the denominator and a portion of them (65) were blueberry flavored then that would be the numerator. (portion/total)
