Question

In a competition, $35$ students appeared in an examination. Only $20$ students passed the examination. What is the ratio of:

a) passed students to the failed students.

b) failed students to the total students.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total students is $35$.

Number of students who passed is $20$.

So the students who failed the competition is $15$.

a) The ratio of passed student to failed student will be $\frac{20}{15}=\frac{4}{3}$.

b) The ratio of failed students to total students will be $\frac{15}{35}=\frac{3}{7}$.
