If 45% of the students were born at South Park HOspital, then what is the ratio of the people born at South Park to the people not born at South Park Hospital. Write fraction in simpliest form?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the number of all the people
45% of x are born in South Park Hospital
the rest x - (45% of x) are not born in South Park Hospital
the ratio of the people born at South Park to the people not born at South Park Hospital will be
(45% of x) / (x - (45% of x)) =
= ((45/100)*x) / ( x - (45/100)*x) =
= 45/(100 - 45) =
= 45 / 55 = (divide the numerator and denominator by 5)
= 9 / 11
