At a bake sale there were 54 items sold total. If 9 of the items sold were cookies and the rest were brownies what is the ratio of browines sold to cookies sold

Respuesta :

Ok so we know that there were 54 items sold, of which were only brownies or cookies.

If 9 were cookies then
(54 - 9) brownies, or 45 brownies were sold.

So the ratio of brownies sold to cookies sold is
45:9, which when simplified, is a 5:1 ratio.

Hope this helped
