A student bought 34 pencils for school. If he sharpened 16 of the pencils before school, what is the ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils?

Question

jeanymouse · Answer

TO find unsharpened pencils, subtract 34 by 16 and you'll get 18. The answer to the question is 18/16, if you want to simplified it, it will be 9/8 or 9:8.

abbyy · Answer

34 - 16 = 18 
 18 : 16 
 I think that's the answer?

jeanymouse · Answer

The ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils is 9 : 8 , which is derived from having 18 unsharpened and 16 sharpened pencils. This ratio simplifies from 16 18 ​ .
