Question

Shelby's Ice Cream Shop sold 8 sundaes with nuts and 4 sundaes without nuts. What is the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the number of sundaes without nuts?

Answer 1

Answer: 2:1

Explanation:

The ratio of A to B is given by :
`(A)/(B)` or A : B .

Given : sundaes with nuts = 4

sundaes without nuts = 8

The ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the number of sundaes without nuts =
`(8)/(4)=(2)/(1)\ \ \ [\text{Divide numerator and denominator by 4 }]`

= 2:1

hence, the required ratio = 2:1 .
