Answer 1

Answer: A. 36

B. 5:11

Explanation:

(a)How many cold stone cones are sold?

Let the number of stone colds sold be represented by x.

Therefore, we can form an equation as:

11/9 = 44/x

Cross multiply

11 × x = 44 × 9

x = (44 × 9)/11

x = 36

The number of stone cold sold are 36.

(b)If the number of cold stone cones on the next day is reduced to 20.what is the new ratio?

The new ratio will be gotten as:

= 20/44

= 5/11

= 5:11

The ratio is 5:11
