Question

Owen had 18 guitars. He sold 5 guitars and kept the rest. What is the ratio of guitars he kept to guitars he sold?

Answer 1

Guitars Owen kept= 18-5= 13
Guitars Owen sold= 5
Ratio of guitars he kept to guitars he sold= 13/5 or 13:5

Answer 2

to get what he kept subtract 5 from 18, to get 13 so 13 was kept. the ratio will be kept:sold which is 13:5
