To find the ratio of the number of empty parking spots to the total number of parking spots, we first need to determine the total number of parking spots.
We have:
- Number of empty parking spots = 66
- Number of full parking spots = 32
Total parking spots = Number of empty parking spots + Number of full parking spots Total parking spots = 66 + 32 = 98
Now, we can find the ratio of the number of empty parking spots to the total number of parking spots:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of empty parking spots}}{\text{Total number of parking spots}} = \frac{66}{98} \]
Next, we simplify this fraction. We can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 66 and 98 is 2.
\[ \frac{66 \div 2}{98 \div 2} = \frac{33}{49} \]
Thus, the ratio of the number of empty parking spots to the total number of parking spots is:
\[ \frac{33}{49} \]
