Mrs. Kwon's science students took a pop quiz. Six students failed the quiz, and 16 students passed the quiz. Show you understand that comparing quantities using subtraction by comparing the number of students who passed to the number of students who failed using a ratio.

Answer 1

To compare the number of students who passed to the number of students who failed using a ratio, we need to subtract the number of students who failed from the total number of students.

Total number of students = Students who failed + Students who passed

Therefore, Total number of students = 6 + 16 = 22

Now, let's find the ratio of students who passed to the students who failed:

Ratio of students who passed to students who failed = Students who passed / Students who failed

Ratio of students who passed to students who failed = 16 / 6

Ratio of students who passed to students who failed = 2.67 [rounded to two decimal places]

So, the ratio of students who passed to students who failed is approximately 2.67:1.
