On Monday, the Dairy Barn sold 14 waffle cones for every 6 sugar cones. On Tuesday, the Dairy Barn sold 7 waffle cones for every 3 sugar cones. Which proportion can be used to represent the cone sales?
Answer
A
3 sevenths is equal to 14 sixths
B
14 sixths is equal to 7 thirds
C
14 sixths is equal to 3 sevenths
D
6 over 14 is equal to 7 thirds
Explanation
Write each day's waffle-cone-to-sugar-cone ratio as a fraction: Monday's ratio is 14/6, and Tuesday's is 7/3. The proportion is therefore 14/6 = 7/3, which is choice B. Both ratios simplify to 7/3.
