A smoking cessation program was organized for 623 employees of a company, and 216 successfully stopping smoking. What was

the approximate ratio of successes to failures?
A) 1 to 2
B) 2 to 3
C) 3 to 1
D) 4 to 2

Answer 1

A) 1 to 2

Explanation:

Total number of people: 623

Successes: 216

Failures: 623 - 216 = 407

Ratio of successes to failure = 216/407

Since 216 is approximately half of 407, the ratio is approximately 1/2.

Answer: A) 1 to 2
