Question

My Mathematics textbook has 100 pages. The chapter "Ratio" covers 7 pages. What is the ratio of the number of pages of this chapter to the total number of pages in the textbook?

• A. $100:7$
• B. $107:7$
• C. $7:100$
• D. $7:107$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $7:100$

Number of pages in the Mathematics textbook $=100$

Number of pages covering the chapter "Ratio" $=7$

$\therefore$ Ratio of the number of pages of this chapter to the total number of pages in the textbook $=\frac{7}{100}$

Hence, the ratio is $7:100.$
