72 students have vanilla ice cream and 20 students have chocolate ice cream. What is the ratio of the number of students who have chocolate to the total number of students?

5 : 23

Step-by-step explanation:

because in total there are 92 students ( 20 + 72)

so the answer would be out of 92 ( _ : 92 )

and so then you need to find out how many students ate chocolate ice cream which was 20

so it would be 20:92

but this answer could also be simplified by 4 or 2 and u would still get the same answer but I just used 2 so 2 goes into both of them so to simplify all u do is :

20 ÷ 2 = 10

92 ÷ 2 = 46

the answer would then be 10:46

but this can also be simplified again by 2:

10 ÷ 2 = 5

46 ÷ 2 = 23

So the last and final answer would be 5 : 23

Hope this helps and hopefully it's right, sorry if it's wrong though
