Question

A restaurant orders corn tortillas and flour tortillas. The ratio of the number of corn tortillas to flour tortillas is 3:4. What is the ratio of flour tortillas

to total tortillas?
4:10
3:7
3:10
4:7

Answer 1

4:7

Explanation:

The ratio of the number of corn tortillas to flour tortillas is 3:4. So this means there are at least 3 corn tortillas and 4 flour tortillas.

We need to add 3 and 4 to see the simplified total of tortillas. 3+4=7.

There is a total of 7 tortillas regardless of their type.

Now we just need to compare this with the number they already gave us for flour tortillas, which is 4.

4:7 or 4 flour:7 in total

The ratio of flour tortillas to total tortillas is 4:7.
