Question

On last weeks math test Carol had 20 correct out of 25 problems. What is the ratio of the correct answer to the wrong answer in the simplest form? (With steps explanation)
a) 4 : 1
b) 5 : 1
c) 1 : 4

Answer 1

20/25= 4 : 5

for this we can't do it into simplest form

Answer 2

The correct answer is option (a) 4 : 1

Given: The marks that Carol had 20 correct out of 25 problems  

To find: The ratio of correct answer to wrong answer

Solution: Total number of problems = 25

Number of correct answers = 20

Number of wrong answers = 25 - 20 = 5

The ration between correct and wrong answers = 20 : 5

⇒ 20 : 5 = 4 : 1  [ divided by 5 ]

Therefore, The ratio of correct answer to wrong answer = 4:1
