In a carnival drawing, a green ticket wins $1, a yellow ticket wins $5, and a blue ticket wins $10. There are 100 green tickets, 25 yellow tickets and 5 blue tickets. In simplest form, what are the odds against winning less than $10?
A. 1:4
B. 1:5
C. 1:10
D. 1:25

Sagot :

first, you add up the non-$10 winning cars so 100+25=125.
then you take 5:125 because you want the winning 10$ against not winning. the to get 1 you divide both numbert by 5 to get 1 on the left. so you get 1:25.
hope i helped:)
