A survey was conducted to determine students’ preferred learning style. The distribution of responses from the sample participants are summarized as follows: Learning Styles Number of Students Who Prefer Each Style auditory learning style 17 visual learning style 20 kinesthetic learning style 13 Write a ratio that compares the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the number of student-participants of the survey. Write your answer in the simplest fraction form.(1 point) Responses 23 Start Fraction 2 over 3 End Fraction 25 Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction 35 Start Fraction 3 over 5 End Fraction 20
To compare the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of students in the survey, we need to use the ratio of 20 (number of students who preferred visual learning style) to 50 (total number of students):
20:50
To simplify this ratio into simplest fraction form, we divide both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 10:
20 ÷ 10 = 2
50 ÷ 10 = 5
Therefore, the ratio in its simplest fraction form is:
2:5
Thus, the correct answer is:
Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction
