Answer:
Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A pet supply chain called Pet City has 5 hamsters and 10 gerbils for sale at its Lanberry location.
At its Milford location, there are 13 hamsters and 16 gerbils.
Now, to find the location who has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.
Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Lanberry location = 5:10.
[tex]=\frac{5}{10}=0.50[/tex]
Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Milford location= 13:16.
[tex]=\frac{13}{16} =0.8125[/tex]
So, 0.8125 > 0.50.
Thus, 13:16 > 5:10.
Therefore, Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.
