Question

In an elementary school class 13 student ride the bus to school and 12 student walk to school. write the ratio of walkers to bus riders in lowest terms?

Answer 1

13 students ride the bus to school.

12 students walk to school.

To write the ratio of walkers to bus riders, first, write the number of walkers then write the number of bus riders.

`\begin{gathered} walkers\colon bus\: riders \\ 12\colon13 \end{gathered}`

The ratio is already in the lowest terms since it cannot be further simplified.

Therefore, the ratio of walkers to bus riders is 12:13
