Question: 207
1. Archie purchased 3 peppers, 2 onions, 8 carrots, 6 potatoes, and 1 head of kale. What was his ratio of onions to all food purchased?
- A. 2:19
- B. 2:23
- C. 1:10
- D. 1:11
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
The answer is C
A ratio represents a part to a part, although in this case the question is asking for a comparison of a part to a whole (usually called a fraction). As there are 20 vegetables and onions, the ratio of onions to vegetables is 2:20, or 1:10.
