At Crescent High School, 120 students plan on going to an in-state college and 70 students plan on going to an out-of-state college. What is the ratio of students planning on going to an in-state college to students planning on going to an out-of-state college?
To find the ratio of students planning on going to an in-state college to students planning on going to an out-of-state college, we first need to determine the total number of students.
Total number of students = 120 (in-state) + 70 (out-of-state) = 190 students
Now, we can find the ratio by dividing the number of students planning on going to an in-state college by the number of students planning on going to an out-of-state college:
Ratio = 120 (in-state) / 70 (out-of-state) = 12/7
Therefore, the ratio of students planning on going to an in-state college to students planning on going to an out-of-state college is 12:7.
