Solution
According to the given figure,
a. The total number of black keys = 7
The total number of white keys = 10
Hence, the ratio of white keys to black keys on the keyboard = `10/7`
b. The total number of all keys = 10 + 7 = 17
The ratio of black keys to all keys on the given keyboard = `7/17`
c. Black keys in 1 keyboard = 7
Black keys in 14 such keyboards = 14 × 7 = 98 keys.
