Kegan and his friends went out for milkshakes. In total, they ordered 5 chocolate shakes and 2 strawberry shakes.

Question

What is the ratio of strawberry shakes to the total number of shakes ordered?
A. 2:5
B. 2:7
C. 5:2
D. 5:7

Answer 1

To find the ratio of strawberry shakes to the total number of shakes ordered, we first need to calculate the total number of shakes:

Total number of shakes = number of chocolate shakes + number of strawberry shakes Total number of shakes = 5 (chocolate) + 2 (strawberry) = 7

Now, we can set up the ratio of strawberry shakes to the total number of shakes:

Ratio of strawberry shakes to total shakes = number of strawberry shakes : total number of shakes = 2 (strawberry) : 7 (total)

Therefore, the answer is:

B. 2:7
