Roger Berg · Answer 1

Ratio would be 9 : 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Liliana surveyed 20 students that how many hours they spend on their computers each week.

The results are as follows

8, 15, 0, 11, 12, 13, 16, 13, 0, 4, 17, 14, 30, 13, 5, 12, 1, 13, 12, 21

In the above results 2 students did not use computers out of 20 students.

Therefore, The total number of students who used their computers = 20 - 2 = 18

So the ratio would be 18 : 20 or 9 : 10

Zechariah · Answer 2

18/20 or 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The list shows the amount of hours each student USED the computer.

Wherever we see a "0", that means he/she DID NOT USE computer.

There are 2 "zeroes", so 2 didnt use out of 20, so number of student who DID USE is 20 - 2 = 18

To find ratio of total number of students who used to the total number surveyed, it is going to be:

18/20 or 9/10
