A certain drawing states that the odds of winning are 117:168. What would be the odds against winning?
Would it be 168/117??

thank you Ms. Sue. I didn't realize he had responded :)
To determine the odds against winning, you need to flip the ratio of the odds of winning. In this case, the odds of winning are given as 117:168. To calculate the odds against winning, you would reverse the ratio, resulting in 168:117.
So, the odds against winning would be 168:117.
