34 students are going on a field trip and 65 students are staying at school. What is the ratio of the number of students who are staying at school to the total number of students?

:99

1 answer

To find the ratio of the number of students who are staying at school to the total number of students, we first need to calculate the total number of students.

  1. Calculate the total number of students:

    • Students going on a field trip: 34
    • Students staying at school: 65
    • Total number of students = 34 + 65 = 99
  2. Determine the number of students staying at school:

    • Students staying at school = 65
  3. Calculate the ratio:

    • Ratio of students staying at school to the total number of students = \( \frac{65}{99} \)

Thus, the ratio of the number of students who are staying at school to the total number of students is \( \frac{65}{99} \).
