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)
To compare the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants in the survey, we would use the ratio:
Number of students who preferred visual learning style : Total number of student-participants
Therefore, the ratio would be:
20 : (17 + 20 + 13)
= 20 : 50
= 2 : 5
So, the ratio in simplest form is 2:5.
