14/3 is the answer

anonymous · Answer

How?

myininaya · Answer

$$\frac{number of tickets Jeanne sold}{number of tickets Jake sold}$$

myininaya · Answer

since it is says to find the ratio of the number of tickets Jeanne sold to the number of tickets Jake sold

myininaya · Answer

so Jean sold 9
and
Jake sold 42
so actually we have
$$\frac{9}{42}$$
to get one of the answers above you need to reduce this fraction

myininaya · Answer

wait that is weird this answer is listed twice

myininaya · Answer

once as 9/42 and the other in reduced form

myininaya · Answer

ok it does say simplest form so yeah reduce that fraction
