A fruit basket contains 2 red apples and 5 green apples. What is the ratio of the number of green apples to the total number of apples?

Question

Write your answer as two numbers separated by a colon (for example, 2:3).

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of green apples to the total number of apples, we first need to determine the total number of apples.

The fruit basket contains:

• 2 red apples
• 5 green apples

Calculating the total number of apples: \[ \text{Total apples} = \text{Red apples} + \text{Green apples} = 2 + 5 = 7 \]

Next, we find the ratio of the number of green apples to the total number of apples: \[ \text{Number of green apples} = 5 \] \[ \text{Total number of apples} = 7 \]

Now we can express the ratio: \[ \text{Ratio of green apples to total apples} = \frac{\text{Number of green apples}}{\text{Total number of apples}} = \frac{5}{7} \]

In ratio form, this is expressed as: \[ 5:7 \]

Thus, the answer is \(\boxed{5:7}\).

Answer 2

A bakery made 23 muffins that contained nuts and 27 muffins that did not contain nuts. What is the ratio of the number of muffins without nuts to the number of muffins with nuts?

Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 3

To find the ratio of the number of muffins without nuts to the number of muffins with nuts, we first identify the quantities:

• Muffins without nuts: 27
• Muffins with nuts: 23

The ratio of the number of muffins without nuts to the number of muffins with nuts is then calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of muffins without nuts}}{\text{Number of muffins with nuts}} = \frac{27}{23} \]

Thus, the answer in fraction form is:

\[ \boxed{27/23} \]

Answer 4

34 of the tables at Carmen's Italian Restaurant are full and the other 8 tables are empty. What is the ratio of the number of empty tables to the total number of tables?

Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 5

To find the ratio of the number of empty tables to the total number of tables at Carmen's Italian Restaurant, we first need to determine the total number of tables.

Given:

• Number of full tables: 34
• Number of empty tables: 8

Now, we can calculate the total number of tables:

\[ \text{Total number of tables} = \text{Full tables} + \text{Empty tables} = 34 + 8 = 42 \]

Next, we find the ratio of the number of empty tables to the total number of tables:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of empty tables}}{\text{Total number of tables}} = \frac{8}{42} \]

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

\[ \frac{8 \div 2}{42 \div 2} = \frac{4}{21} \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{4/21} \]

Answer 6

A fruit basket contains 3 red apples and 16 green apples. What is the ratio of the number of red apples to the number of green apples?

Write your answer as two numbers separated by a colon (for example, 2:3).

Answer 7

To find the ratio of the number of red apples to the number of green apples, we first identify the quantities:

• Number of red apples: 3
• Number of green apples: 16

Now, we can express the ratio of red apples to green apples:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of red apples}}{\text{Number of green apples}} = \frac{3}{16} \]

In ratio form, this is written as:

\[ 3:16 \]

Thus, the answer is \(\boxed{3:16}\).

Answer 8

Sam's town voted on a new law. There were 5 votes in favor of the law and 53 votes against the law. What is the ratio of the number of votes against the law to the total number of votes?

Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 9

To find the ratio of the number of votes against the law to the total number of votes, we first need to determine the total number of votes.

Given:

• Votes in favor of the law: 5
• Votes against the law: 53

Now, we can calculate the total number of votes:

\[ \text{Total number of votes} = \text{Votes in favor} + \text{Votes against} = 5 + 53 = 58 \]

Next, we find the ratio of the number of votes against the law to the total number of votes:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of votes against the law}}{\text{Total number of votes}} = \frac{53}{58} \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{53/58} \]

Answer 10

There are 33 men and 29 women on an airplane. What is the ratio of the number of female passengers to the total number of passengers?

Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Answer 11

To find the ratio of the number of female passengers to the total number of passengers on the airplane, we first identify the quantities:

• Number of women (female passengers): 29
• Number of men: 33

Next, we calculate the total number of passengers:

\[ \text{Total number of passengers} = \text{Number of men} + \text{Number of women} = 33 + 29 = 62 \]

Now, we can find the ratio of the number of female passengers to the total number of passengers:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of female passengers}}{\text{Total number of passengers}} = \frac{29}{62} \]

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{29/62} \]
