Question

A survey of 100 people found that 35 people exercise in

Answer 1

Answer:

Jim's claim is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Total survey=100 people

Morning exercise=35 people

Afternoon exercise=45 people

Night exercise=20 people

Morning exercise : Total survey

=35 : 100

Afternoon exercise : Total survey

=45 : 100

Night exercise : Total survey

=20 : 100

Jim's claim is correct because in finding the ratio, one has to relate it with the total people involved in the survey.

Tara's claim however seems to relate one variable with two other variables

Example:

35 : 55

Morning exercise : (morning exercise + night exercise)

35 : (35+20)

35 : 55
