one sixth of five dozen computers were shiped how many were not shiped b what was the ratio of computers were shipped to those that were not shipped c what percent of computers were shiped

well, since there are 6/6 in all the computers,

if 1/6 shipped. 5/6 not shipped
ship:noship = 16 : 5/6 = 1:5
1/6 = 16.667%

To find the answers to the given questions, we can break down the problem step by step:

a) How many computers were not shipped?
First, we need to calculate the total number of computers. We are given that there are five dozen computers, which means there are 5 x 12 = 60 computers.
Since one-sixth of the computers were shipped, we can find the number of computers that were not shipped by subtracting one-sixth from the total:
60 - (1/6) * 60 = 60 - 10 = 50 computers.

Therefore, 50 computers were not shipped.

b) What was the ratio of computers shipped to those that were not shipped?
The ratio of computers shipped to those that were not shipped can be calculated by dividing the number of computers shipped by the number of computers not shipped:
Number of computers shipped: 60 (total) - 50 (not shipped) = 10 computers
Ratio of computers shipped to those not shipped: 10:50 (or simplified, 1:5)

Therefore, the ratio of computers shipped to those not shipped is 1:5.

c) What percent of computers were shipped?
To find the percentage of computers shipped, divide the number of computers shipped by the total number of computers and multiply by 100:
Percentage of computers shipped = (Number of computers shipped / Total number of computers) * 100
= (10 / 60) * 100
= 16.67%

Therefore, approximately 16.67% of the computers were shipped.
