Question

A store has 9 blue hats and 7 red hats for sale write the ratio of blue hats to all the hats

Answer 1

9 : 7, or 9/16 to 7/16

Explanation:

We know that there are 9 blue hats.

We know there are 7 red hats.

This is a 9 : 7 ratio.

In fraction form, we must find the total ratio, use that as the denominator, then take the seperate amounts, such as bluei adn red hats, and use that as the numerator:

9+7=denominator

denominator = 16

Blue hats = 9

Ratio of red = 9/16

Red hats = 7

Ratio of red = 7/16

Hope this helps!
