Question

If 84 of the 136 participants in club activities are residents, what is the ratio of nonresidents to residents who participate in club activities? Write the ratio in lowest termsas a fraction or with a colon.

Answer 1

13/21

1)In this question, we need to gather the data to better get it.

84 residents are participants out of 136

52 nonresidents out of 136

136 -84 = 52

2) We are assuming that 52 people are nonresidents. So we can write out the following ratio:

$\frac{nonresidents}{residents}=\frac{52}{84}=\mathbf{\frac{13}{21}}$

Note that we have simplified this ratio. That is the answer.
