12 out of 25 students got a B on the weekly math test. The ratio of the number of students out of 25 who did not get a B on the test can be written three different ways. Those ways are

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of students who did not get a B on the test to the total number of students, we start with the number of students who did not receive a B.

1. Calculate the number of students who did not get a B:

   • Total students = 25
   • Students with a B = 12
   • Students without a B = 25 - 12 = 13

2. Express the ratio: The ratio of students who did not get a B to the total number of students is \( 13 : 25 \).

3. Three different ways to write the ratio:

   • As a fraction: \( \frac{13}{25} \)
   • As a percentage: To convert it to a percentage, you can do \( \frac{13}{25} \times 100 = 52% \)
   • As a simplified statement: You can write the ratio as "13 students out of 25 did not get a B."

So, the three different ways to express the ratio of students who did not get a B are:

1. \( 13 : 25 \)
2. \( \frac{13}{25} \)
3. 52%
