Question

Five hundred sixth-grade students

Answer 1

The ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1

Solution:

Given that,

Five hundred sixth-grade students  were surveyed

Which means,

sixth-grade students = 500

125 had traveled on an airplane

What is the ratio of total sixth-grade students to the number of students who had  traveled on an airplane?

Therefore,

total sixth-grade students : students  traveled on airplane = 500 : 125

Ratio = 500 : 125

Reduce to lowest terms,

Divide both sides by 5

Ratio = 100 : 25

Further reduce to simplest terms,

Divide both sides by 25

Ratio = 4 : 1

Thus the ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1
