Dan's Ice Cream Shop sold 26 sundaes with nuts and 7 sundaes without nuts. What is the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes?

1 answer

To find the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes, we first need to calculate the total number of sundaes sold.

The number of sundaes with nuts is 26, and the number of sundaes without nuts is 7.

Total number of sundaes = number of sundaes with nuts + number of sundaes without nuts \[ \text{Total number of sundaes} = 26 + 7 = 33 \]

Now, we can form the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of sundaes with nuts}}{\text{Total number of sundaes}} = \frac{26}{33} \]

Thus, the ratio of the number of sundaes with nuts to the total number of sundaes is: \[ \frac{26}{33} \]
