A movie theater sold a total of 50 tickets. 28 of the tickets were child tickets, and the rest were adult tickets. What is the ratio of the number of adult tickets to the number of child tickets?

Respuesta :

Answer: the ratio of the number of adult tickets to the number of child tickets is 11/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of tickets that were sold at the movie theatre was 50. 28 of the tickets were child tickets, and the rest were adult tickets. It means that the number of adult tickets that were sold would be

50 - 28 = 22

Therefore, the ratio of the number of adult tickets to the number of child tickets is expressed as

Number of adult tickets sold/number of child tickets sold

It becomes

22/28 = 11/14
