The ratio of non athletes at Browns Primary School is 3:4. If there are 225 athletes, how Many non athletes are there
x/225 = 3/4
The ratio is apparently only approximate, or there is a typo.
In fact, I know it, because you say "ratio of non athletes" which is meaningless.

To find the number of non-athletes at Browns Primary School, we can use the given ratio and the number of athletes.
The ratio of non-athletes to athletes is 3:4, which means for every 3 non-athletes, there are 4 athletes.
Given that there are 225 athletes, we can set up the following proportion:
3 non-athletes / 4 athletes = N non-athletes / 225 athletes
To solve for N (the number of non-athletes), we can cross-multiply and then divide:
4N = 3 * 225
4N = 675
N = 675 / 4
N ≈ 168.75
Since the number of non-athletes must be a whole number, we can round this to the nearest whole number:
N ≈ 169
Therefore, there are approximately 169 non-athletes at Browns Primary School.
