Answer 1

- The question tells us to find the ratio of people who ate hot dogs to those who did not eat hot dogs.

- The formula for this ratio is:

`\frac{\text{Number of people who ate hot dogs}}{\text{Number of people who did not eat hot dogs}}`

- When we read the table, we observe that the Number of People that ate hot dogs is 90.

- Also, if we read the table, we find that the people that did not eat hot dogs ate Soup, Pizza, and Salad.

- Thus, the number of people that did not eat hot dogs is

`60+120+30=210`

- Now, we have everything we need to calculate our ratio.

- The ratio of those who ate hotdogs to those that did not is given below:

`\frac{\text{Number of people who ate hot dogs}}{\text{Number of people who did not eat hot dogs}}=(90)/(210)=(9)/(21)=(3*3)/(3*7)=(3)/(7)`

Final Answer

The ratio of those who ate hotdogs to those that did not is

`(3)/(7)\text{ (OPTION B)}`
