Question

10 children in kindergarten class any dog 14 children in the class do not own a dog find the ratio of the number of children that on a dog to the number of children in the class express the ratio in a simplify fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio in simplified fraction $=\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of children who own a dog  $=10$

and the number of children who do not own a dog $=14$

So, the total number of children in the class  $=10+14=24$

Thus, the ratio of the number of children that on a dog to the number of children in the class will be:  $10:24$

Simplified fraction:

$10:24=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}\ \ [Dividing\ both\ 10\ and\ 24\ by\ 2]$

So, the ratio in simplified fraction $=\frac{5}{12}$

Answer 2

Given that there are 10 children who own a dog, and 14 children who do not, the ratio of the children that owns a dog to the children that do not own a dog, is 10:14.

To express the ratio in a simplify fraction, we will just use fractional notation.  Thus, it is simply 10/14, or 5/7 as its simplest form.
