Question

In tilapia fish farming, 7 tons of high quality feed resulted in weight gain of 7000 lb. what is the amount of feed to weight gain ratio? Enter in fraction form.

Answer 1

To get the ratio, we take the tons of feed used and divide them by the total weight gain:

$\frac{7}{7000}\rightarrow\frac{1}{1000}$

This way, we can conclude that the the amount of feed to weight gain ratio is:

$1\colon1000$
