Answer:

a is 13:3 and b is 252 / total no of students

Answer 2

a) 4 : 1

b) 1 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Hindu students = 288

Number of Muslim students = 252

Number of Sikh students = 144

Number of Christian students = 72

Total number of students = 288 + 252 + 144 + 72

                                          = 756

a) Ratio of the number of Hindu students to the number of Christian students

$=\frac{288}{72}$     [reduce the fraction]

= $\frac{4}{1}$

So the ratio would be 4 : 1

b) The ratio of number of Muslim students to the total number of students

$=\frac{252}{756}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$

So the ratio would be 1 : 3

a) 4 : 1

b) 1 : 3
