At a putt-putt course, there are 50 yellow golf balls, 45 red golf balls, and 65 blue golf balls. What ratio compares the number of blue golf balls to the total number of golf balls?

Answer (3)

Blue balls : Total number.
Total number of balls = 50 + 45 + 65 = 160
Blue balls : Total number.
= 65: 160 Divide both by 5. = 13 : 32
= 13/32. That is the ratio.

The ratio of blue golf balls to the total number of golf balls can be calculated as:
Calculate the total number of golf balls: 50 yellow + 45 red + 65 blue = 160.
Find the ratio of blue balls to the total: 65 blue / 160 total = 0.40625 or 41:160.
The ratio compares the number of blue golf balls to the total number of golf balls in the given putt putt course scenario.

The ratio of blue golf balls to the total number of golf balls at the putt-putt course is 13:32. This was found by first calculating the total number of golf balls and then simplifying the fraction of blue balls over total balls. Therefore, the answer is 13:32.
