The high school baseball team is having a cookout to celebrate their latest victory. They have a total of 35 hotdogs and hamburgers, 21 of which are hotdogs. At the end of the cookout there were 5 hotdogs and 3 hamburgers left. The coach says that the ratio of hotdogs that were eaten to hamburgers that were eaten is 16:11 . Is the coach correct? Choose 1 for yes and 2 for no.
To determine if the coach is correct, we need to compare the number of hotdogs and hamburgers that were eaten.
Initially, there were a total of 35 - 5 = 30 hotdogs and 35 - 3 = 32 hamburgers eaten.
The ratio of hotdogs eaten to hamburgers eaten is 30 / 32 = 15 / 16.
However, the coach claims that the ratio is 16:11, which is not equal to 15:16.
Thus, the coach is not correct.
Therefore, the answer is 2 (no).
