    The ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1

    Solution:

    Given that,

    Five hundred sixth-grade students were surveyed

    Which means,

    sixth-grade students = 500

    125 had traveled on an airplane

    What is the ratio of total sixth-grade students to the number of students who had traveled on an airplane?

    Therefore,

    total sixth-grade students : students traveled on airplane = 500 : 125

    Ratio = 500 : 125

    Reduce to lowest terms,

    Divide both sides by 5

    Ratio = 100 : 25

    Further reduce to simplest terms,

    Divide both sides by 25

    Ratio = 4 : 1

    Thus the ratio in three ways are 500 : 125 or 100 : 25 or 4 : 1
