In the cafeteria 100 milk cartons were put out for breakfast at the end of breakfast 27 remained what is the ratio of the number of milk cartons remaining to the number of milk cartons taken
100 - 27 = 73
73:100
the correct answer for this equation is 100-60 =40 and then for the taken 100-40=60 so the answer is 40:60
To find the ratio of the number of milk cartons remaining to the number of milk cartons taken, we need to determine the number of milk cartons taken. We can do this by subtracting the number of milk cartons remaining from the total number of milk cartons put out for breakfast.
Total number of milk cartons put out for breakfast = 100
Number of milk cartons remaining = 27
Number of milk cartons taken = Total number of milk cartons put out for breakfast - Number of milk cartons remaining
Number of milk cartons taken = 100 - 27
Number of milk cartons taken = 73
Now that we know the number of milk cartons taken, we can find the ratio by dividing the number of milk cartons remaining by the number of milk cartons taken:
Ratio = Number of milk cartons remaining / Number of milk cartons taken
Ratio = 27 / 73
Therefore, the ratio of the number of milk cartons remaining to the number of milk cartons taken is 27/73.
