Four out of 28 students had to take summer school. what is the ratio of students who did not have to take summer school expressed in it’s lowest terms?

Hello!

You know that 4 out of 28 had to take summer school, and you want to know the ratio of students who did not have to take summer school.

If 4 out of 28 had to take it, then 28 - 4 = 24 did not have to take sumer school.

then the ratio for 24 out of 28, is 24/28

Now we want to express it in it's lowest therms.

if we divide both sides of our division by 4, we got that 24/4 = 6 and 28/4 = 7, then our ratio 24/28 can be writen as 6/7.

answer: what do you mean
