Question

At the candy store there are 1170 candies: 1080 gumdrops and 90 chocolate bars. What is the ratio of candies to chocolate bars?

Answer 1

Answer: 13:1

Explanation:

Number of candies = 1170

Number of gumdrops = 1080

Number of chocolate bars = 90

The ratio of candies to chocolate bars will be calculated thus:

= Number of candies / Number of chocolate bars

= 1170 / 90

= 13/1

= 13:1

Therefore, the ratio of candies to chocolate bars is 13:1.
