Question

Sam has a collection of 10 stickers in various colours, as represented in the image given below. Represent the ratio of green stickers to the total number of stickers.

• A. 2 : 10
• B. 1 : 10
• C. 1 : 5
• D. 10 : 2

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A 2 : 10
C 1 : 5

The coloured strip is divided into 10 equal parts.

Given, Sam has a total of 10 stickers.

Hence, each division represents $\frac{10}{10}$ = 1 sticker.

There are 2 divisions representing green stickers.

Hence, number of green stickers = 2

$\therefore$ The ratio of green stickers to the total number of stickers = 2 : 10, which is equivalent to 1 : 5.
