The ratio of Monarch butterflies to Queen butterflies at a butterfly farm was 9:7. If there are no additional butterflies at the farm, what is the ratio of Queen butterflies to the total number of butterflies at the farm?
9:16
16:9
16:7
7:16
help plz
to find the total number of butterflies we add 9 and 7, which equals 16 butterflies in all. Then we take the queen butterfly part of the ratio, which is 7 and compare it with the total number of butterflies to get the ratio 7:16.
