In the continental United States, the ratio of states that border an ocean to states that do not border an ocean is 7:9. How many of the states border an ocean?

Respuesta :

there is a total of 49 states in the continental U.S.....because u exclude Hawaii
7:9.....added = 16

7/16(49) = 343/16 = 21.4 border an ocean .....rounded = 21
9/16(49) = 441/16 = 27.6 do not border an ocean... rounded = 28
