Question

A restaurant has 18 tables and 54 chairs. The

ratio of tables to chairs in the restaurant is
1:3
1:4
3:1
54:1

Answer 1

The ratio is 1:3

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of tables in the restaurant

y ----> the number of chairs in the restaurant

we know that

To find out the ratio of tables to chairs in the restaurant, divide the number of tables by the number of chairs

we have

`x=18\ tables\\ y=54\ chairs`

so

The ratio is equal to

`(18)/(54)`

Simplify

Divide by 18 both numerator and denominator

`(1)/(3)`

therefore

The ratio is 1:3
