You want a snack. One cookie has 130 calories. An orange has 35 calories. What is the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie?
Answer:
The ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is \(\frac{7}{26}\) .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
One cookie has 130 calories.
An orange has 35 calories.
Thus
\(\frac{Calories\ of\ orange}{Calories\ of\ cookie} = \frac{35}{130}\)
Simplify the above
\(\frac{Calories\ of\ orange}{Calories\ of\ cookie} = \frac{7}{26}\)
Therefore the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is \(\frac{7}{26}\) .
