a. 2:5
b. 2 to 7
c. 7/2
d. 5/7

Answer 1

The correct ratio of days in the week that do not begin with 'T' to the total number of days is 5:7, or choice (d) 5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to determine the ratio of the number of days in the week that do not begin with the letter 'T' to the total number of days in the week. We can calculate this by counting the days. The days that begin with 'T' are Tuesday and Thursday, which means there are 5 days that do not start with 'T' (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Since there are 7 days in a week, the ratio of days not starting with 'T' to the total number of days is 5:7. Therefore, the correct answer is 5/7.
