Question

10 children in kindergarten class any dog 14 children in the class do not own a dog find the ratio of the number of children that on a dog to the number of children in the class express the ratio in a simplify fraction

Answer 1

The ratio in simplified fraction
`=(5)/(12)`

Explanation:

The number of children who own a dog
`=10`

and the number of children who do not own a dog
`=14`

So, the total number of children in the class
`=10+14=24`

Thus, the ratio of the number of children that on a dog to the number of children in the class will be:
`10:24`

Simplified fraction:

`10:24=(10)/(24)=(5)/(12)\ \ [Dividing\ both\ 10\ and\ 24\ by\ 2]`

So, the ratio in simplified fraction
`=(5)/(12)`

Answer 2

Given that there are 10 children who own a dog, and 14 children who do not, the ratio of the children that owns a dog to the children that do not own a dog, is 10:14.

To express the ratio in a simplify fraction, we will just use fractional notation. Thus, it is simply 10/14, or 5/7 as its simplest form.
