a survey was conducted to determine students 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

What ratio compares the number of students who preferred visual learning style to the number of participants of the survey. Make sure answer is simplest fraction form.

a. 2/5

b. 20

c. 2/3

d. 3/5

d. 3/5

The number of students who preferred visual learning style is 20, and the total number of participants in the survey is 17 + 20 + 13 = 50.

So, the ratio of students who preferred visual learning style to the total number of participants is 20/50 = 2/5.

Simplifying this ratio gives us 2/5 = 2/5.

Therefore, the correct ratio that compares the number of students who preferred visual learning style to the number of participants of the survey is 3/5.
