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


Sagot :

34 - 16 = 18

18 : 16 

I think that's the 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.
