Arithmetic: Simple Arithmetic Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

A pie is made up of 1/9 crust, 1/3 apples, and 1/4 sugar, and the rest is jelly. What is the ratio of crust to jelly?

Explanation:

Correct Answer: C

A pie is made up of 1/9 crust, 1/3 apples, 1/4 sugar, and the rest is jelly. What is the ratio of crust to jelly?

To compute this ratio, you must first ascertain how much of the pie is jelly. This is:

$1 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{9}$

Begin by using the common denominator 36:

$1 - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{36}{36} - \frac{9}{36} - \frac{12}{36} - \frac{4}{36}$

$\frac{36}{36} - \frac{9}{36} - \frac{12}{36} - \frac{4}{36} = \frac{11}{36}$

So, the ratio of crust to jelly is:

$\frac{1}{9} : \frac{11}{36}$

This can be written as the fraction:

$\frac{\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{11}{36}} = \frac{1}{9} * \frac{36}{11} = \frac{4}{11}$ , or $4 : 11$
