Mark me as a Brainliest pls

Step-by-step explanation:

Total employees in a super market = college graduates + Non - college graduates

Let the total number of employees be x then

Given that 2/5 of the employees in a supermarket are not college graduates.

then

college graduates will be 3/5 (using fractional parts concept)

Total parts = 5 out of which 2 parts are non college graduates and Employees of college graduates are 5-2=3

So, 3 parts of 5 are the college graduates

We can say that the no. of college graduates are 3/5

ratio of number of college graduates to those who are not college graduates is

$\frac{ \frac{2}{5} }{ \frac{3}{5} } \\ = > \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{3} \\ = > \frac{2}{3}$

ratio of number of college graduates to those who are not college graduates is 2:3

Conclusion :-

So,the ratio of number of college graduates to those who are not college graduates is 2:3
