Question

Colton has 8 comedy movies, 6 action movies, 5 fantasy movies, and 1 drama movie on his list of favorite movies.

Answer 1

For every 5 movies on his list, there are 2 comedy movies.

Answer 2

Answer:

For every 5 movies on the list there are 2 comedy movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question Colton has comedy movies = 8

                                             Action movies = 6

                                             Fantasy movies = 5

                                            Drama movies = 1

So total number of movies in his favorite list = 8+6+5+1 = 20

Now we have to calculate the ratio of each kind of movie out of total number of movies.

The ratio of Comedy movie to the total $=\frac{8}{20}$ $=\frac{2}{5}$

Ratio of Action movies to the total $=\frac{6}{20} =\frac{3}{10}$

Ratio of Fantasy movie to the total= $\frac{5}{20} =\frac{1}{4}$

and the ratio of drama to the total number of movies =$\frac{1}{20}$

After analyzing these solutions we can say that for every 5 movies on the list, there are 2 comedy movies.
