The table above shows the amount of waste material, in tons, recycled by each of five counties in a single year and the amount of waste material, also in tons, that was disposed of in landfills by the five counties in that year. Which county had the lowest ratio of waste material disposed of to waste material recycled in the year reported in the table?
a) A
b) B
c) C
d) D
e) E
Answer is C. Can someone share a simple way of doing this. Also, what does the lowest ratio mean exactly?
Using POE and close approximation, A says - more than 1/8; B says - nearly 1/6; C says - nearly 1/4; D says - nearly 1/6; E says - nearly 1/5. Now among them, I think 1/8 is the smallest one. So the correct answer should be - A.tutonaranjo wrote:

You are right. You have to divide the 3rd column by the 2nd column, which will give you the following:andy123 wrote:hi i badly need to understand what is the question asking ??
