Answer 2

**THE PERSON UNDER ME IS ALSO CORRECT, THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY TO APPROACH RATIOS**

Explanation: Ratio seldom compares two numbers by dividing them (this depends on the problem). We are given A 16 computers and B 26 chairs. Therefore we have the formula of A/B.For example 16/26

Solving: Divide A by B: 16/26= 0.615 or 0.6

Multiple: Multiple the quotient by 100 in order to get the percentages. 0.615 x 100 = 61.5% (if you rounded 0.61, the answer would be 60%; for this problem I didnt round hence, 61.5%)

Answer: 61.5 %
