Question

Here are 2 gold coins and 5 silver coins in Victor's coin collection. What is the ratio of the

number of silver coins to the number of gold coins?

Answer 1

5:2

Explanation:

Since we know both the number of silver and gold coins, we can put it in ratio form. Pay attention to the order; since it’s asking for silver to gold coins, the ratio would be silver:gold. We can substitute the 5 and 2 for the gold and sliver values, so we get 5:2. This answer cannot be simplified so it will stay the same.
