Answer 1

Answer:

a) 37:13 b) 13:37 c) 37:50 d) 13:50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: During one day in a hardware store, 37 people came in and made a purchase, and 13 people looked around but didn’t purchase anything.

To Find:  a. Purchasers to nonpurchasers b. Nonpurchasers to purchasers c. Purchasers to total customers, d. Nonpurchasers to total customers.

Solution:

Number of people who made a purchase(purchasers) = $37$

Number of people who didn't made a purchase(non-purchaser)= $13$

Total number of people who came to store = $37+13$=$50$

a) ratio of purchaser to non purchaser = $\frac{\text{Number of purchaser}}{\text{Number of non purchaser}}$

                                                                   = $\frac{37}{13}$

                                                                   = $37:13$

b) ratio of non purchaser to purchaser = $\frac{\text{Number of non purchaser}}{\text{Number of purchaser}}$

                                                                   = $\frac{13}{37}$

                                                                   = $13:37$

c) ratio of purchaser to Total customer = $\frac{\text{Number of purchaser}}{\text{Number of Total customer}}$

                                                                   = $\frac{37}{50}$

                                                                   = $37:50$

a) ratio of non purchaser to total customer = $\frac{\text{Number of non purchaser}}{\text{Total Number of customer}}$

                                                                   = $\frac{13}{50}$

                                                                   = $13:50$
