Out of the 49 students in the gym, 42 are sitting on the bleachers and the rest are sitting on the floor. What is the ratio of the number of students sitting on the bleachers to the total number of students?

42:49 or 42 to 49 you also cannot simplify it.

42:49
Or
42/49


A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers.
Kind of like fractions.
The first part in the question, which in this case was the number of students sitting on bleachers, would be written first. The second part which was, the total number of students, would be written second.
