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.
A. 20
B. 3/5
C. 2/5
D. 2/3
B. 3/5
There were 20 students who preferred a visual learning style out of a total of 50 student-participants in the survey (20 + 17 + 13 = 50). Therefore, the ratio comparing the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants is 20:50, which simplifies to 3/5.
