Question

Students were asked to name their favorite sport. Seven students chose soccer, nine chose basketball, four chose baseball, and five chose tennis. Write the ratio in simplest form that compares the number of students who chose tennis to the total number of students.

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

Given,

Soccer 7

basketball 9

baseball 4

Tennis 5

So, the total number of students: 7+9+4+5= 25

So the ratio will be 5/25 or 1/5 because 5 students had chosen tennis as their favorite sport.
