Answer 2

Answer

Find out the what is the ratio of students with pets to students without pets .

To prove

As given

of 60 students, 24 students have a pet.

Thus Total number of student = 60

students have pets = 24

students without  pets = 60 - 24

                                 = 36

Now  ratio of students with pets to students without pets .

$\frac{Student\ with\ pets}{Students\ without\ pets} = \frac{24}{36}$

simplify the above

$\frac{Student\ with\ pets}{Students\ without\ pets} = \frac{2}{3}$

Therefore the  ratio of students with pets to students without pets be 2:3 .

Hence proved
