Question

On Monday, the Dairy Barn sold 14 waffle cones for every 6 sugar cones. On Tuesday, the Dairy Barn sold 7 waffle cones for every 3 sugar cones. Which proportion can be used to represent the cone sales?

Answer 1

14/6=7/3 since it should be waffle cones/ sugar cones

Answer 2

Number of waffle cones sold on Monday = 14

Number of sugar cones sold on Monday = 6

So, the proportion of waffle cones to sugar cones = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.

Number of waffle cones sold on Tuesday = 7

Number of sugar cones sold on Tuesday = 3

So, the proportion of waffle cones to sugar cones = 7 : 3.

Hence, the required proportion that can be used to represent the cone sales is 7 : 3.
