Question

Subject Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 Total

Basic Mathematics 23 32 18 73
Statistics 20 25 26 71

What is the ratio of the number of students scheduled for section 3 of Basic Mathematics to the number of students scheduled for section 3 of Statistics?

Answer 1

9 : 13

Explanation:

Given in the question,

for the subject "Basic Mathematics" there are 18 students in section 3 and for subject "Statistics" there are 26 students in section 3.

The ratio of the number of students scheduled for section 3 of Basic Mathematics to the number of students scheduled for section 3 of Statistics

18 : 26

9 : 13

Answer 2

The rario is 9:13.

Explanation:

In this case, our population is the number of students in section 3.

Then, in section 3 there are students who were assigned to basic mathematics and there is a group of students who were assigned statistics.

Let's call x students in section 3 assigned to mathematics and let v call the number of students assigned to section 3 statistics.

SW

`x = 18\\v = 26\\`

We can say then that the relation between the variables x and v is:

`(x)/(v) = (18)/(26) = (9)/(13)`

this is

x:y = 18:26

Simplifying we have:

9:13.

This means that in section 3 there are 9 students in the basic mathematics course for every 13 students of statistics
