Question

A woman bought 10 crates of eggs from the market. On getting home, she realized that 15 eggs were broken. What is the ratio of broken eggs to unbroken eggs.

​

Answer 1

B:U = 1:20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of broken eggs be B.

Let the number of unbroken eggs be U.

Given the following data;

Number of crates of egg = 10 crates

But, 1 crate of egg = 30 eggs

10 crates of egg = 30 * 10 = 300 eggs

B = 15 eggs

U = 300 eggs

Ratio B to U = B:U

B:U = 15:300

Dividing by 15, we have;

B:U = 1:20
