Question

(This is basically the question I guess.)

1. In the lunch room, there were 100 chocolate milk cartons at lunch. When lunch was over, 88 had been purchased

Answer this:

What is the ratio of the number of milk cartons purchased to the total number of milk cartons?

And This:

What is the ratio of the number of milk cartons remaining to the number of milk cartons purchased?

Answer 1

The ratio of the number of milk cartons purchased to the total number of milk carton

88 cartons : 100 cartons = 22 : 25

The ratio of the number of milk cartons remaining to the number of milk cartons purchased

(100 cartons - 88 cartons) : 88 cartons = 12 cartons : 88 cartons = 3 : 22
