Question

Andrew sold 45 tickets to the school play and Sara sold 60 tickets. Which of the following is equivalent to the ratio of the number of tickets Andrew sold to the number of tickets Sara sold?

Answer 1

3:4

Explanation:

Since Andrew sold 45 tickets and Sara sold 60 tickets you can find out that the highest number they can be divided by is 15. Once you divide each by 15 you get this: 3:4 You can check the answer by multiplying both numbers by 15 and you will see that you get 45:60 which was the simplified equation.
