Enter your answer, in simplified form without decimals, in the boxes.

Answer 1

The ratio is 17 to 16.

First, you need to add up all the yes votes. 
23 + 147 = 170

Second, you need to add up all the no votes.
112 + 48 =160

So our ratios is 170:160.
You can divide this by 10 to get a simplified ratio of 17:16.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio is 17 : 16

Step-by-step explanation:

From the survey done it was revealed that number of students who have prepared the meal for their family

students with age 13-15  + students with age 16-18

= 23 + 147 = 170

Similarly number of students who have not prepared the meal for their family = 112 + 48 = 160.

Now the ratio of the students who have prepared the meal for their family and the students who have not

= $\frac{170}{160}$ ⇒ 17 : 16

The ratio is 17 : 16
