Question

The local bank employs 36 individuals of which 15 are smokers. What is the ratio, in simplest form, of the non-smokers to the total number of employees at the local bank?

Answer 1

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

Total smokers = 15

Total non smokers = 36 - 15 = 21

$\frac{smokers}{non \: smokers} = \frac{15}{21} = \frac{5}{7}$

Hence it is 5:7.

Hope it helps :)..
