Question

A group of boys were selling candy bars to raise money for their football league table but shows how many candy bars each boy have thought so far what is the simplified ratio of the bars John sold to total number of candy bars sold

John: 35
Ayaan: 80
Blake: 40
Juan: 45

Answer 1

The answer is 5

Explanation:

When you are simplifying you take a number the highest number and put it into it for example 7 goes In to 35, 5 times. So the simplified answer would be 5.

Answer 2

Answer: 7:40

Explanation:

Add all of the kids candy bars, then see how much John has. The ratio is 35:200, but we need to simplify it. Thus, we will find the GCF (greatest common factor).⬇️This is the work on how I got the answer⬇️

The GCF of 35 and 200 is 5

Divide both terms by the GCF, 5:

35 ÷ 5 = 7

200 ÷ 5 = 40

The ratio 35 : 200 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 5 :

35 : 200 = 7 : 40

Therefore:

35 : 200 = 7 : 40
