Question

For every 60 phone calls that Linda made in a month, she received 70 phone calls. What is the ratio in simplest form of the number of calls made to the number of calls received by Linda that month?

A: 1:7
B: 6:1
C: 6:7
D: 7:6

Answer 1

C


because you can simplify 60 & 70 by 10, so 60/10 = 6 and 70/10 = 7 so it gives you 6/7. Also because the calls she made is expressed first in words, so it is first in the ratio. The received calls goes to the other part of the ratio, hopefully that makes sense.
