Answer:

4 : 5

Explanation:

We are told that 20 students saw the movie and 5 didn't, meaning there were in total 20 + 5 = 25 students; therefore, the ratio is


\frac{\text{saw the movie}}{\text{total students}}=(20)/(25)

To simplify the ratio, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5. This gives


(20/5)/(25/5)
(4)/(5)

Hence, the ratio of the students who saw the movie to the total number is 4 : 5.
