Question

At the Bradley wedding, 12 guests sat on the groom's side and 15 guests sat on the bride's side. At the McKenzie wedding, 14 guests sat on the groom's side and 17 guests sat on the bride's side. Which wedding had a lower ratio of guests of the groom to guests of the bride?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Bradley wedding :

12 guests groom, 15 guests bride

ratio of groom to bride = 12/15 which reduces to 4/5 ( = 0.80)

McKenzie wedding:

14 guests groom, 17 guests bride

ratio of groom to bride = 14/17 ( = 0.82)

so the Bradley wedding has the lower ratio of guests of the groom to guests of the bride <====
