during a mayoral election, candidate a spent $960,000 on her campaign, and candidate b spent $720,000 on her campaign. what is the ratio of candidate a’s campaign spending to candidate b’s campaign spending? choose 1 answer: a 3 : 4 b 4 : 3 c 7 : 9 d 9 : 7

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the spending amounts

Candidate A spent $960,000 and candidate B spent $720,000.

Step2: Set up the ratio

The ratio of A's spending to B's spending is $\frac{960000}{720000}$.

Step3: Simplify the ratio

Divide numerator and denominator by 240000: $\frac{960000\div240000}{720000\div240000}=\frac{4}{3}$. So the ratio is 4:3.

Answer:

B. 4 : 3
