Answer 1

To find the ratio 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 participants.

From the table:

• Number of students who prefer auditory learning style = 17
• Number of students who prefer visual learning style = 20
• Number of students who prefer kinesthetic learning style = 13

Now, let's calculate the total number of students:

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

Next, we need the ratio of students who preferred the visual learning style to the total number of students:

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

Now, let's simplify this fraction:

20 / 50 = 2 / 5

So, the ratio that compares the number of students who preferred a visual learning style to the total number of student-participants is:

Start Fraction 2 over 5 End Fraction.
