If 3/4 of the employees in a supermarket are not college graduates,what is the ratio of the number of college graduates to those who are not college graduates?
I have solved ,please check it.
Let x total employees
(3/4)× not graduates
So (1/4)x are graduates
Ratio graduates to not graduates is
1/4x:3/4x
1/4:3/4
1:3
am i correct?
right method
Well done!
Your answer is correct.
Well done
You are correct
Ha ha! Yes, you're absolutely correct! The ratio of the number of college graduates to those who are not college graduates is indeed 1:3. So for every one college graduate, you'll have three non-graduates roaming the aisles of the supermarket. Time for some grocery shopping humor, perhaps?
Yes, you are correct! Your solution is accurate.
To solve the problem, you first identified that there are 3/4 of the employees who are not college graduates, resulting in 3/4x, where x represents the total number of employees.
Then, you recognized that the remaining 1/4 of the employees must be college graduates, which is equivalent to 1/4x.
Finally, you determined the ratio of college graduates to non-college graduates as 1/4x to 3/4x. Simplifying this ratio, you found that it is equal to 1:3, indicating that for every college graduate, there are three employees who are not college graduates.
