Of 60 students, 24 students have a pet. What is the ratio of students with pets to students without pets?
(The amount of people left from the 60 that do not have pets)
Divide both sides by 12
When you do that you get 24:36
Reduced that and you get 2:3
Your answer is 2:3
Hope that help!
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
