Question

A movie theater has 24 screens. The ratio of action films to other films currently showing on all of the screens 1:2. How many action films are currently showing?

Answer 1

8:16, 8 actions films

Explanation:

1:2 = 1x:2x

= 24 / (1x+2x)

= 24 / 3x = 8, x = 8

= 8*1 : 8*2

= 8:16

Proof:

8 + 16 = 24
