Question

During a period of 80 minutes, a music station played 8 minutes of commercials. What is the ratio of music they played to commercials they played?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

80 minutes.......8 minutes played commercials....that means (80 - 8) = 72 minutes played music

so the ratio of music to commercials is : 72/8 which reduces to 9/1...so the ratio is 9:1 <=== ur answer

** pay attention to the wording, because if it would have asked for the ratio of commercials to music, it would have been 8/72....ratio would be 1:9
