Answer:
6:13 or 6/13
Step-by-step explanation:
the total number of marbles is 26
the total number of red marbles is 12
6 to 13
6:13 OR 6/13
<em>(I was not sure if I was supposed to leave it as 12:26 or simplify it to 6:13, but I think 6:13 is more reasonable since it is asking for a ration)</em>
You need to use basic algebra for this.
For this I’ll use o as the items and p for the payment. First you need to find out how long it took for all the items to scan, so if it took each item 2 seconds to be scanned you need to times the total number of items (o) by two e.g. o x 2 = 62 items times two seconds which is equivalent to 62 seconds (1.02 minutes) after this step you need to minus the total time it took to scan the items for the transaction time (2 minutes) e.g. 2.00 - 1.02 = 2.58 minutes.
Hope this helped :)
