Answer 1

To find the ratio comparing the number of students who prefer a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants in the survey, we first need to determine the total number of students.

From the table:

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

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

Now, we set up the ratio of students who prefer visual learning style to the total number of students:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of students who prefer visual learning}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{20}{50} \]

Now we simplify the fraction:

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

Thus, the answer is:
