Question

The cafeteria at Local Middle School offers a choice of either a sandwich or soup every Thursday.

Of 55 students who purchased lunch this Thursday, 30 chose a sandwich.
What is the ratio of the number of students who chose a sandwich to all those who purchased lunch this Thursday?

Answer 1

30:55

Explanation:

30 out of the 55 students that bought lunch, bought sandwiches. So, 30 sandwiches to 55 students. It's a trick question that gives you all the information in the question itself, so it's fairly simple. I hope I'm right tho lol

Answer 2

Explanation:

55-30 = 25

25 out of 55 chose the soup.

Hope that helps
