Question

Ratios

Mrs. Gildner took a survey of the 30 students in her math class. Of the 30 students surveyed, 18 of them said that chocolate is their favorite ice cream flavor. 4 students listed vanilla as their favorite flavor. The remaining students indicated that strawberry is their favorite kind of ice cream.


What is the ratio of chocolate to strawberry? SIMPLIFY if possible!

Answer 1

Answer: 9:4

Step-by-step explanation: Total is 30. Add 18 and 4 to see how many students were already surveyed, (22) and then subtract that from 30. Then you get 8, so the ratio is 18:8. Then simplify by dividing both numbers by 2, so you get 9:4. Hope that helps :)
