Answer 1

The ratio is  2 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of sports store = 4

The number of clothing store  = 9

The number of jewellery stores = 5

To Find :

The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores

Solution:

The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores

= $\frac{\text{number of sports store}}{\text{ Total number of stores}}$

The total number of stores =  number of sports store + number of clothing store + number of jewellery store

The total number of stores = 4 + 9 + 5

The total number of stores = 18

Now the ratio is

= $\frac{4}{18}$   or 4  :  8

The ratio after reduction is

=$\frac{2}{9}$ or 2 : 9  or   2 to 9
