The ratio of juniors to seniors at 2:00 p.m. in fractional form is 43 / 37
What is ratio?
Ratio is a term that is used to compare two or more numbers.
Therefore,
At 12 pm(noon) there are 700 juniors and 1100 seniors at the college fair. After 12:00 pm 20 juniors arrive every 15 minutes and 45 seniors leave every 15 minutes. Therefore,
The Junior population at 2:00 pm is as follows;
- 12 pm to 2pm is 120 minutes
Then, 120 / 15 = 8
20 × 8 = 160 students
The junior student increased by 120 by 2pm.
The Senior population at 2:00 pm is as follows;
45 × 8 = 360 students
360 senior student left by 2 pm.
Therefore,
Junior student by 2pm = 700 + 160 = 860 students
Senior student by 2 pm = 110 - 360 = 740 students
The ratio of juniors to seniors at 2:00 p.m. in fraction form is 860 / 740 = 43 / 37
