Question

There are eight slices in a pizza. If Jamal eats two slices, what is the ratio of the number of slices remaining to the number Jamal has eaten

Answer 1

6:2

Explanation:

If Jamal ate 2 slices, that means there are 6 slices left, and now make a ratio with the slices he ate with the ones remaining. Hope this helps

Answer 2

6/2 or 3/1

Explanation:

If Jamal ate 2 slices, then there must be 6 remaining.

That is the numerator in our ratio.

We know that Jamal has eaten 2 slices, so our denominator is 2.

We get:

6/2 or 3/1
