A student bought 33 pencils for school if he sharpened 3 of the pencils before school what is his ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils?

Respuesta :

The ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils is 10:1

The number of total pencils bought is = 33

The number of sharpened pencils = 3

Therefore, the number of unsharpened pencils = 33 - 3

                                                                               = 30

The ratio of unsharpened pencils to sharpened pencils = 30 : 3

                                                                                            =[tex]\frac{30}{3}[/tex]

                                                                                            = [tex]\frac{10}{1}[/tex]

                                                                                            = 10: 1
