One day in a sporting goods store, 34 people came in and made purchases while 14 people came in but didn't buy anything. What's an unsimplified ratio, as a fraction, of the number of people who made a purchase and the number of people who came into the store

Answer:

34/48

Explanation:

So to answer this problem, we need to know two things:
1) The number of people who made a purchase
2) The number of people who came into the store

The problem gives us 1), which is 34.
The answer for 2) is 34+14, since that's the total number of people who came into the store. This means that the ratio is 34/48.
