The ratio is 2 : 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The number of sports store = 4
The number of clothing store = 9
The number of jewellery stores = 5
To Find :
The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores
Solution:
The ratio of number of sports stores to the total number of stores
= [tex]\frac{\text{number of sports store}}{\text{ Total number of stores}}[/tex]
The total number of stores = number of sports store + number of clothing store + number of jewellery store
The total number of stores = 4 + 9 + 5
The total number of stores = 18
Now the ratio is
= [tex]\frac{4}{18}[/tex] or 4 : 8
The ratio after reduction is
=[tex]\frac{2}{9}[/tex] or 2 : 9 or 2 to 9
