Answer 1

The ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas is 3:32.

Explanation:

Given:

At the beginning of the month, Hercules had 96 violas in his store. He sold 9 violas during the month.

Now, to find the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas.

The original number of violas = 96.

The violas sold = 9.

Now, to get the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas:

The violas sold : The original number of violas

`9:96\\\\=(9)/(96) \\\\=(3)/(32) \\\\=3:32.`

Therefore, the ratio of the violas sold to the original number of violas is 3:32.
