Q: What number has a 5:1 ratio to the number 11? Options: A:22 B:50 C:55 D:52 E:12
A: Reasoning Process: In order to ﬁnd the number that has a 5:1 ratio to 11, we ﬁrst need to understand what a ratio
means. A ratio is a comparison of two numbers, and it is usually written in the form of a:b. In this case, the ratio is 5:1,
which means that for every 5 units of the ﬁrst number, there is 1 unit of the second number. Therefore, if we want to ﬁnd
the number that has a 5:1 ratio to 11, we need to ﬁnd a number that is 5 times larger than 11. Then, we can check each of
the given options to see if any of them are 5 times larger than 11. The only option that ﬁts this description is C:55. Final
answer: C.
