Question

the fraction of rotten eggs in a basket where the ratio ofo rotten eggs to good eggs is 2:11.​

Answer 1

Given:

The ratio of rotten eggs to good eggs is 2:11

To find:

The fraction of rotten eggs in the basket

Solution:

If "x" is the common ratio

Then we can assume,

"2 x" → represents the no. of rotten eggs

"11 x" → represents the no. of good eggs

∴ The total no. of eggs in the basket = $2x + 11x = 13x$

Now,

The fraction of rotten eggs in the basket is given by,

= $\frac{No. \:of\: rotten\: eggs\:in \:the \:basket}{Total\:no.\:of\:eggs\:in\:the \:basket}$

= $\frac{2x}{13x}$

= $\bold{\frac{2}{13}}$

Thus, the fraction of rotten eggs in the basket is $\underline{\frac{2}{13} }$.
