Ms. Sue- I have the total number of students is 1225 so then the answer would be 300/1225
Find the total number of students. Use this number as the denominator and the number of history majors for the numerator.
Yes. That fraction can be simplified. See above.
what is this
To find the ratio of history majors to the total number of students in the college, you need to divide the number of history majors by the total number of students.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Find the total number of students in the college by adding up the number of students in each major:
Total number of students = Math + History + English + Science + Other
Total number of students = 200 + 300 + 400 + 150 + 175
Total number of students = 1225
2. Determine the ratio of history majors to the total number of students:
Ratio of history majors = Number of history majors / Total number of students
Ratio of history majors = 300 / 1225
Lastly, simplifying the ratio if necessary:
Ratio of history majors = 12/49
So, the ratio of history majors to the total number of students in the college of arts and sciences is 12:49.
