A survey was conducted to determine students’ preferred learning style. The distribution of responses from the sample participants are summarized as follows:

Question

Learning Styles | Number of Students Who Prefer Each Style
auditory learning style | 17
visual learning style | 20
kinesthetic learning style |13

Write a ratio that compares the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the number of student-participants of the survey. Write your answer in the simplest fraction form.
3/5
2/5
2/3
20

Answer 1

To find the ratio that compares the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants in the survey, we first need to calculate the total number of students.

Number of students:

• Auditory learning style: 17
• Visual learning style: 20
• Kinesthetic learning style: 13

Total number of students = 17 + 20 + 13 = 50

Now, we compare the number of students who preferred the visual learning style (20) to the total number of students (50):

The ratio is:

\[ \frac{20}{50} \]

To simplify this fraction:

\[ \frac{20 \div 10}{50 \div 10} = \frac{2}{5} \]

Thus, the ratio in its simplest form is:

\[ \frac{2}{5} \]

Therefore, the answer is 2/5.
