Question

In a box of chocolates, 1/5 of the chocolates contain nuts.

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates = 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Proportion of the box of chocolates that contain nuts = 1/5

Proportion of the box of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

Therefore, we have in a box of chocolates with five chocolates;

The number of chocolates that contain nuts = 1

The number of chocolates that do not contain nuts = 4

Which gives the ratio of the number of chocolates that contain nuts to the number of chocolates as 1:4.
