Answer:

Explanation:

There are 950 students at Hanover High School. The ratio of the number of freshmen to all students is 3:10. This means that the number of freshmen is 3/10 × total number of students.

Number of freshmen = 3/10×950 =285 freshmen

The ratio of the number of sophomore to all students is 1:2. This means that the number of sophomore is 1/2 × total number of students.

Number of sophomore = 1/2×950 =475 sophomore

The ratio of the number of freshmen to sophomore is the number of freshmen/ the number of

sophomore.

It becomes 285/475 = 57/95
