The high school baseball team is having a cookout to celebrate their latest victory. They have a total of
35 hotdogs and hamburgers. If there are 21 hotdogs, would the ratio of hotdogs to hamburgers be
2 : 32: 3? Chose 1 for yes and 2 for no
To determine if the ratio of hotdogs to hamburgers is 2:3, we need to calculate the number of hamburgers.
We know that there are a total of 35 hotdogs and hamburgers combined. So, if there are 21 hotdogs, we can subtract this number from the total to find the number of hamburgers.
35 - 21 = 14
Now, we can check if the ratio of hotdogs to hamburgers is indeed 2:3.
The ratio 2:3 means that for every 2 hotdogs, there should be 3 hamburgers.
In this case, we have 21 hotdogs and 14 hamburgers, which is not a ratio of 2:3.
Therefore, the answer is 2 for no.
