Question:
Steve uses 14 blue beads and 6 green beads to make a bracei. Which ratio compares the number of blue beads to the total number of beads in one bracelet?
A. 14:6
B. 6:14
C. 6:20
D. 14:20
Answer:
D. 14:20
Explanation:
So basically we are provided with 14 blue beads and 6 green beads. So, we can say that total number of beads is 20 which is the sum of blue beads and green beads. And we are asked to compare the ratio of number of blue beads to the total number of beads in one bracelet.
From above we can say that total number of beads in one bracelet is 20 (14 + 6 = 20 or Sum of blue beads + Sum of green beads). Therefore,
→ Blue beads : Total number of beads in one bracelet = 14 : 20
Correct option is option D. 14:20.
