Question

20 out of 21 students want pancakes and the rest want waffles. What is the ratio of the number of students who want waffles to the total number of students?

Answer 1

If 20 out of 21 students want pancakes, then only 1 student wants waffles.

The ratio of the number of students who want waffles to the total number of students is therefore:

1 waffle student : 21 total students

or simplified as:

1 : 21

So the ratio is 1 to 21

Answer 2

Answer: 20:21 or 20 to 21
