Question 2(a)

Out of 30 students in a class, 6 like football, 12 like cricket and remaining like tennis. Find the ratio of:

The number of students liking football to the number of students liking tennis.

Answer 1

Given, total number of students = 30

Number of students who like football = 6

Number of students who like cricket = 12

Thus, number of students who like tennis = Total number of students - (Number of students who likes football + Number of students who likes cricket)

= 30 - (6 + 12) = 30 - 18 = 12

The ratio of students who like football to that of tennis

= $\frac{Numberofstudentswholikesfootball}{Numberofstudentswholikestennis}$

$=\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2}=1:2$
