Question

A restaurant recorded what items from the kids menu were ordered on Friday night. Twenty-eight of the 76 kids at the restaurant Friday night ordered chicken nuggets. What is the ratio of kids who did not order chicken nuggets to the number of kids who did? Write your ratio in simplest form.

Answer 1

12:7

Explanation:

Total number of kids = 76

Total number of kids that ordered chicken nuggets = 28

Total number of kids that did not order chicken nuggets = 76 - 28

= 48

The ratio of kids who did not order chicken nuggets to the number of kids who did is:

= 48 : 28

In simplest form :

= 12:7
