Go to your game board.

Of the students in Tim's grade, 27 students have a pet and the other 14 students do not. What is the ratio of the number of students who do not have a pet to the number of students who have a pet? 28:14 14:27 14:41 41:14

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the number of students who do not have a pet to the number of students who have a pet, we can use the given values.

• Number of students who have a pet: 27
• Number of students who do not have a pet: 14

The ratio of students who do not have a pet to those who have a pet is:

\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of students without pets}}{\text{Number of students with pets}} = \frac{14}{27} \]

This ratio can be expressed as "14:27".

Therefore, the correct answer is 14:27.
