Santos flipped a coin 300 times. The coin landed heads up 175 times. Find the ratio of heads to total number of coin flips. Express as a simplified ratio.
The ratio of heads to total number of coin flips is 175:300.
Simplifying this ratio by dividing both numbers by 25, we get:
175 ÷ 25 = 7
300 ÷ 25 = 12
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 7:12.
