Answer 1

Answer: The ratio comparing students enrolled in a math course to students enrolled in a history course=0.709

Explanation:

Given: There are 346 students enrolled in a math course and 488 students enrolled in a history course.

The ratio of p to q is written as p/q .

Now, The ratio comparing students enrolled in a math course to students enrolled in a history course=
`\frac{\text{Number of math course students}}{\text{Number of history course students}}`

`=(346)/(488)=(173)/(244)\\=0.709016393\approx0.709`

Hence, The ratio comparing students enrolled in a math course to students enrolled in a history course=0.709
