Of the 100 students, 37 take only Spanish. Subtracting 37 from 100 gives us 63 students who are taking either both Spanish and Chinese or only Chinese.

So, there are 63 students who are taking Chinese (just Chinese or both Chinese and Spanish).

Since the number of students taking Chinese is 8 more than the number of students taking Spanish, 63 - 8 + 55 students taking Spanish (just Spanish or both Spanish and Chinese).

Of these 55 students, 37 are only taking Spanish, therefore, 55 - 37 = 18 students who are taking both languages.

I guess a whole lot shorter way of looking at this is:  for there to be 8 more students taking Chinese than Spanish, there must be 8 more students who are taking only Chinese than who are taking only Spanish:  37 + 8 = 45. Since 37 are taking only Spanish and 45 are taking only Chinese, 100 - (37 + 45) = 18 students who are taking both languages.

How many thumbs down votes did the video get
lara31 [8.8K]

So you have the ratio of 9:2.

The video has 18 thumbs up votes with the ratio being thumbs up to thumbs down.

9 in relation to 18 is times 2 so it makes since to times 2 by 2.

Therefore the ratio would be 18:4 which means there would be 4 thumbs down.
