Question

At a furniture shop, every chair came with either 1 or 2 cushions. The ratio of

the number of chairs to the number of cushions was 7:11, what fraction of
the chairs came with 2 cushions?​

Answer 1

Answer: 4/7

Explanation:

the number of chairs = 7

the number of cushions = 11

Every chair has at least 1 cushion. There are 7 chairs so 7 cushions are used.

There is a total of 11 cushions and 7 cushions are already distributed to the chairs so there are 4 chairs with a 2nd cushion.

Chairs with 2 cushions ÷ Total chairs = 4/7
