Question

The ratio of students polled in 6th grade who prefer lemonade to iced tea is 8:4, or 2:1. If there were 39 students in 6th grade polled, explain how to find the number of students that prefer lemonade and the number of students that prefer iced tea using a ratio table. Be sure to tell how many students prefer each

Answer 1

Answer:

the number of kids who preferred ice tea is 13

Explanation:

If you simplify the ratio to 2: 1, this shows that for every two people who liked lemonade, there was one that liked iced tea. so, divide 39 by 3. that equals 13, so 13 + 13 = 26 and you would add 13, which is 39. so, 26 people liked lemonade, and 13 liked iced tea.
