Answer 2

Given:

No. of science students in class = 25

No. of commerce students in class = 40

To find:

Ratio of no. of science students to no. of commerce students.

Solution:

Ratio is the comparison of two quantities that shows how much of one quantity is present in the other. It is determined by dividing the two quantities.

Here, we have 25 science students in a class and 40 commerce students in the same class. We are asked to find the ratio of science students to commerce students. It is determined by dividing the no. of science students with no. of commerce students.

No. of science students/No. of commerce students = $\frac{25}{40}$

Here, $25$ and $40$ are multiples of $5$

$\frac{Science}{Commerce}=\frac{25}{40}=\frac{5}{8}$

$Science:Commerce=5:8$

The ratio of the no. of science students to the no. of commerce students is 5:8.
