Question

A cherry pie was divided into 12 slices. Only the shaded slices have cherry on them. Find the ratio of slices with cherry to the ones without cherry.

• A. $6:12$
• B. $3:4$
• C. $1:1$
• D. $1:2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $1:1$

Total number of slices $=12$

Number of slices with cherry $=6$

Number of slices without cherry $=6$

Ratio of slices with cherry to the slices without cherry $=\frac{6}{6}$

$=\frac{1}{1}$

It is the same as $1:1.$
