Question

The middle school band has 600 os members, 200 of the members were chosen for the highly selective All-State Band. What is the value of the ratio of the number of students who were chosen for the All-State Band to the number of students who were not chosen for the All-State Band?​

Answer 1

Answer: For every three students in band, one will be selected for All-State band.

Step-by-step explanation: The easiest way to explain it is to reduce 600 and 200 by the same number until you can't anymore. I know it sounds like I'm coming up with this off the top of my head, but rest assured that I'm not.
