Question

1)we surveyed 760 people. 240 of them like

broccoli more than carrots and peas. 340 of them
like carrots more than broccoll and peas. The rest
prefer peas. What is the simplified ratio of people
who prefer peas to the total number of people?

Answer 1

I could be wrong, but I believe the answer is 90:380

There are 769 people surveyed in total, 240 and 340 of them are separate from the number of people who preferred peas,

240 + 340 is 580

In order to find put how many people preferred peas, subtract the number of people separated from the people who preferred peas and the total number of people surveyed:

760 - 580, which is 180

That would mean the ratio of people who preferred peas to the total amount of people surveyed would be 180:760 unsimplified

In order to simplify the ratio, we must find the highest common factor, the biggest possible number that these numbers both divide into evenly:

180 and 760 both divide evenly into 2, so the ratio simplified would be 90:380

Please let me know if this answer was wrong!
