Question

At a school football game, in the stands there were 20 teachers. 8 of them were math teachers, 2 were social studies teachers, and the rest were language arts teachers. What is the ratio of language arts to total teachers? (Simplify if you can.)
PLEASE HURRY!

Answer 1

Answer (simplified ): 1:2

8 + 2 = 10/20
In ratio form that is 10:20

10:20 *simplified by 5* = 5:10

5:10 *simplified by 5* = 1:2

Or you can simplify 10:20 by 10 and then just get 1:2 as your ratio answer
