A game company sold 100 games. 41 of the games were board games, and the rest were card games. What is the ratio of the number of board games to the total number of games?

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 board games to the total number of games, we start by identifying the number of board games and the total number of games sold.

Given:

• Number of board games = 41
• Total number of games = 100

Now, we set up the ratio of board games to total games:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of board games}}{\text{Total number of games}} = \frac{41}{100} \]

The ratio can be expressed in the format of "a:b". Therefore, we write it as:

\[ 41:100 \]

Thus, the ratio of the number of board games to the total number of games is:

41:100
