A survey was conducted to determine students' preferred learning style. The distribution of responses from the sample participants are summarized as follows:
17
20
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. 2/3
B. 20
C. 3/5
D. 2/5
To find the ratio of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants in the survey, we first need to find the total number of participants.
Given:
Visual learners: 17
Total participants: 17 + 20 + 13 = 50
Ratio of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants: 17/50
This ratio simplifies to:
17/50 = 2/5
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D. 2/5
