A survey taken by 200 people revealed that 80 like orange juice and 120 dislike it. One person is randomly chosen from this group. What is the chance that the chosen person dislikes orange juice? Write your answer as a ratio in simplest form.

To find the probability that the person chosen dislikes orange juice, we need to find the ratio of the number of people who dislike orange juice to the total number of people surveyed.

Number of people who dislike orange juice: 120
Total number of people surveyed: 200

Therefore, the probability that the chosen person dislikes orange juice is:

120 / 200 = 6 / 10 = 3 / 5

So, the chance that the chosen person dislikes orange juice is 3:5.
