Question

At a putt putt course there are 50 yellow golf balls, 45 red golf balls, and 65 blue golf balls. What ratio compares the number of blue golf balls to the total number of golf balls?

Answer 1

Blue balls : Total number.

Total number of balls = 50 + 45 + 65 = 160

Blue balls : Total number.

= 65: 160    Divide both by 5.
= 13 : 32

= 13/32.    That is the ratio.
