Final answer:
The ratio of members without cable to the total number of organization's members is 6 to 11, calculated by dividing the 1500 members without cable by the total membership of 2750.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to determine the ratio of members who don't have cable to the total number of members in an organization. To calculate this, we first need to find the total number of members and then the ratio of members without cable to the total membership.
The total number of organization's members is the sum of members with cable and members without cable. Here, we have 1250 members with cable and 1500 members without cable:
- Total members = Members with cable + Members without cable
- Total members = 1250 + 1500
- Total members = 2750
Once we have the total number of members, we can find the ratio by dividing the number of members without cable by the total number of members:
- Ratio = Members without cable / Total members
- Ratio = 1500 / 2750
- Ratio = 0.5454...
However, ratios are typically expressed in simplest form, so we need to reduce this fraction:
- Both numerator and denominator can be divided by 250.
- So, Ratio is reduced to (1500/250) / (2750/250)
- Reduced ratio = 6 / 11
The ratio of members without cable to the total number of members is therefore 6 to 11.
