Answer 2

Answer:

  1:10

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer had 20 boxes of eggs.

Each box has 6 eggs.

We need to find the ratio of the number of eggs in two boxes to total number of eggs. Ratio should be in simplest form.

In one box number of eggs = 6

Number of eggs in two boxes = 6+6=12

We have total 20 boxes

Total number of eggs in 20 boxes = 20x6 = 120

Now we find the ratio,

$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{120}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{10}$

Thus, 1:10 is the ratio of the number of eggs in two boxes to total number of eggs.
