Question

At a carnival Thomas bought 27 tickets. If he used 9 tickets trying to win the ring toss game, what is the ratio of tickets he has to tickets hes used?

Answer 1

To get the radio we have put tickets he has into numerator and ticket he used into denominator and then simplify the fraction
$\frac{27}{9}= \frac{27:9}{9:9}= \frac{3}{1}$
We can write it as 3:1.
