Debra found that 6 of the 24 students in her class own a cellphone. What is the ratio of students that own a cell phone to students that do not? Explain your reasoning to a classmate

Respuesta :

Ratio is 1/3
Because the ratio of student has own cellphone to student do not have is 6/18 = 1/3
18 because 24 - 6 students has = 18 do not have

Answer:

1 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Debra found that 6 of the 24 students in her class own a cellphone.

Students who own a cellphone = 6

Students who do not own a cellphone = 24 - 6 = 18

Ratio of the students that own a cell phone to students that do not =

6 : 18     [ simplify it ]

1 : 3

Therefore, the ratio is 1 : 3
