Question

In mr. wilson's geometry class, 12 of the students received a's and 20 received b's. in his statistics class, 11 of the students got a's and 15 got b's. in which class did mr. wilson's students earn a higher ratio of a's to b's? a. statistics b. neither, the ratios are equivalent c. geometry d. not enough information

Answer 1

In (A) statistics class Wilson's students earn a higher ratio of a's to b's.

What are ratios?

• A ratio in mathematics describes how many times one number contains another.
• For example, if a dish of the fruit contains eight oranges and six lemons, the orange-to-lemon ratio is eight to six.
• Similarly, the lemon to orange ratio is 6:8, while the orange to total fruit ratio is 8:14.

To find the higher ratio:

Given -

• Geometry class = a:b = 12:20 = 3:5
• Statistics class = a:b = 11:15

As we can observe that 3:5 < 11:15.

Therefore, in (A) statistics class Wilson's students earn a higher ratio of a's to b's.
