Last year, 1,345 bicyclists showed up to the bicycle race. This year, only 690 bicyclists showed up. Write the ratio of the number of bicyclists that showed up to the bicycle race for the past two years.

Answer 1

138 : 269

Explanation:

Last year, the number of bicyclists that showed up was 1345.

This year, there were 690 bicyclists.

The ratio of the number of bicyclists that showed up for the past two years is the ratio of those that showed up this year to those that showed up last year:

690 : 1345

Let us put it in simplest terms:

138 : 269
