Question

A local grocery store kept track of the types of items sold in 2 hours.

Grocery Item #Sold
Produce 15
Deli 4
Dry Goods 20
Frozen Foods 11

Express the ration that compares the amount of produce sold to the total number of grocery items sold.

Answer 1

If we need to find the total we can add everything that the store sold in those two hours

15+4+20+11 = 50

Therefore the ratio to produce to the total sold is

15:50
