Question

In a class test, 16 students out of 48 passed. Find the ratio between :
(i) passed students to total number of students.
(ii) failed students to the number of passed one.​

Answer 1

passed=16

failed=32

i) 16/48 = 1 : 3

ii) 32/16 = 2 : 1

Answer 2

Number of student who passed = 16
Total number of students = 48
Therefore, No. of students who failed
= 48-16
= 32
-
1) The fraction between passed students and total number of students
= 16/48
= 1/3
Therefore, The ratio between passed students to the total number of students
= 1:3 ( ANSWER FOR 1st QUESTION )
-
2) The fraction between the number of failed students and passed ones
= 32/16
= 2/1
Therefore, The ratio between number of failed students to the passed ones
= 2:1 ( ANSWER FOR 2nd QUESTION )
