Question

A grade school has 45 students who walk to school and 150 students who ride the bus. The other 50 students are driven to school. Which ratio shows the number of students who walk to the total number of students in the school?

Answer 1

the ratio is 9 ÷ 49

Explanation:

The computation of the ratio of the number of students who walk to the total number of students is shown below:

= 45 students ÷ ( 45 + 150 + 50)

= 45 students ÷ 245 students

= 9 ÷ 49

Hence, the ratio is 9 ÷ 49
