A survey was conducted to determine students’ preferred learning style. The distribution of responses from the sample participants are summarized as follows:
Learning Styles:
auditory learning
visual learning style
kinesthetic learning style
Number of Students Who Prefer Each Style:
17
20
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.
20 visual learners : 50 total students
Simplifying the ratio, we get:
4:10
Therefore, the ratio in simplest form is 2:5.
okay what would It be as a fraction
To write the ratio as a fraction, we can express it as:
20 visual learners / 50 total students
This can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 10:
20 / 50 = 2 / 5
Therefore, the fraction that compares the number of students who prefer a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants in the survey is 2/5.
