a 6th grade class had breakfast. the students had a chose of apple juice or orange juice of the 30 students, 14 chose apple juice and the rest chose orange juice. what is the fraction ratio of students who chose apple juice to students who chose orange juice

1 answer

To find the fraction ratio of students who chose apple juice to those who chose orange juice, we first need to determine the number of students who chose orange juice.

Total students = 30
Students who chose apple juice = 14

Students who chose orange juice = Total students - Students who chose apple juice
Students who chose orange juice = 30 - 14 = 16

Now we have:

  • Students who chose apple juice = 14
  • Students who chose orange juice = 16

The fraction ratio of students who chose apple juice to students who chose orange juice is:

\[ \frac{14}{16} \]

This fraction can be simplified. Both 14 and 16 can be divided by 2:

\[ \frac{14 \div 2}{16 \div 2} = \frac{7}{8} \]

Therefore, the simplified fraction ratio of students who chose apple juice to those who chose orange juice is \(\frac{7}{8}\).
