Answer 1

To determine the ratio that compares the number of students who prefer the visual learning style to the total number of student participants, we start by calculating the total number of students:

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

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

Now, we want to find the ratio of students who prefer visual learning to the total number of students:

Ratio = Number of students who prefer visual learning / Total number of students = 20 / 50

Now, we simplify the fraction:

20 ÷ 10 = 2 50 ÷ 10 = 5

So, the simplified fraction is:

\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Thus, the answer is:
