Fifty out of 125 eighth graders took summer school. What is the ratio of eighth graders who took summer school to the total number of eighth graders?

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

Then, we must take the given ratio and simplify it down to a more reduced ratio such that

50 / 125 can be reduced by dividing the numerator and denominator by 25 to obtain

50 / 125 = 2 / 5

I hope this helped!
