Answer:

<u>The ratio of non-winners in group A is 3/5 and in group B is 527/579. And the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B will be 78/527.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

People in group A = 130

People in group B = 579

People in group A that will be selected to win US$ 50 fuel cards = 2/5

People in group B that will be selected to win US$ 50 fuel cards = same amount that group A

2. What will be the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B after the selections are made?

Group A

If winners are 2/5, non-winners will be 1 -2/5

1 - 2/5 = 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5

Now, let's calculate the number of winners:

2/5 * 130 = 52 winners ⇒ 78 non-winners

Group B

Number of winners = 52 (Same amount that group A)

Ratio of winners = 52/579

Ratio of non-winners = 1 - 52/579 = 579/579 - 52/579 = 527/579

<u>The ratio of non-winners in group A is 3/5 and in group B is 527/579. And the ratio of non-winners in group A to non-winners in group B will be 78/527.</u>

Answer:

Example

Step 1 The two sides we know are Adjacent (6,750) and Hypotenuse (8,100).

Step 2 SOHCAHTOA tells us we must use Cosine.

Step 3 Calculate Adjacent / Hypotenuse = 6,750/8,100 = 0.8333.

Step 4 Find the angle from your calculator using cos-1 of 0.8333:
