Question

.At Phil’s work, there are 12 part-time workers and 18 full-time workers. What is the ratio of part-time workers to total workers?

Answer 1

2/5

Explanation:

The desired ratio is ...

(part-time)/(total) = (part-time)/((part-time) +(full-time)) = 12/(12+18)

= 12/30 = 2/5

The ratio of part-time workers to total workers is 2 : 5.
