Question

In the cafeteria 100 milk cartons were put out and 27 remained..what is the ratio of milk cartons taken to total milk cartons?

Answer 1

if they started with 100 and 27 remained, then (100 - 27) = 73 were taken.

ratio of milk cartons taken to total milk cartons = 73/100 or 73:100 or 73 to 100
