I. For the following exercises, use this scenario: Kelly opened a bag of colored chocolate coated candies and counted the number of each color of candy. She found she had 9 green, 4 yellow, 13 black, 11 orange, 8 blue, and 7 red. What is the ratio of the following candy colors?
1. Red candies to green candies
To find the ratio of red candies to green candies, we need to divide the number of red candies by the number of green candies.
Number of red candies: 7
Number of green candies: 9
Ratio of red candies to green candies: 7/9
To find the ratio of red candies to green candies, you need to divide the number of red candies by the number of green candies.
The number of red candies is 7, and the number of green candies is 9.
The ratio of red candies to green candies is therefore 7:9.
To find the ratio of red candies to green candies, you need to divide the number of red candies by the number of green candies.
In this scenario, there are 7 red candies and 9 green candies. So, the ratio of red candies to green candies is calculated as follows:
Ratio = Number of red candies / Number of green candies
Ratio = 7 / 9
To simplify the ratio, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 1.
Simplified Ratio = 7 / 9
Therefore, the ratio of red candies to green candies is 7 to 9.
