A local business does $1200 in sales on Monday and $1400 dollars in sales on Tuesday.
Which of the following a correct sentence to describe the ratio of Monday to Tuesday?

Answer 1

$1200+ $1400 = 2600


Answer:
1200 : 1400 = 6 : 7


The ratio is not in lowest terms so we found an equivalent ratio by simplifying.
Solution:

We can simplify the ratio 1200 : 1400 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (GCF).

The GCF of 1200 and 1400 is 200.

Divide both terms by 200.
1200 ÷ 200 = 6
1400 ÷ 200 = 7

Therefore:
1200 : 1400 = 6 : 7
