A camera store developed 2100 rolls of film in one month. Customers wanted double prints from 1500 of these rolls. What is the ratio of rolls with double prints to rolls developed?

2:7

2:5

5:7

7:5

Answer 1

the answer is 5:7

where 1500 is the number of rolls with double prints and 2100 is the amount of rolls developed.

if you simplify the fraction, you get 5/7.

5/7 is 5:7 written as a ratio in this problem.
