Question

A bake sale has 12 cookies, 9 pies, 8 cakes, 4 tarts and 3 cobblers to sell.

What is the ratio of the total number of baked goods to cookies in simplest form?

Answer 1

There's a total of 12 + 9 + 8 + 4 + 3 = 36 baked goods and 3 cobblers, so the ratio is 36 : 3. We can simplify it by dividing by 3 so we'll get an answer of 12 : 1.
