Answer 2

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake sold 42 tickets while Jeanne sold 9 tickets. The questions is asking for the ratio in simplest form the number of tickets Jeanne sold to the number Jake sold. Since we know the amount they sold, let's put it into a ratio factor by Jeannes to Jakes.

9 : 42

To find the simplest form, we need to divide both numbers by their GCF (Greatest Common Factor), which would be 3.

$\frac{9}{3} : \frac{42}{3}$

3 /14

This means that the ratio from Jeanne's sakes to Jake's sales in simplest form is 3/14
