On a field trip, there are 8 adults and 24 students. What is the ratio of students to the total number of people on the field trip? 8 to 24 1 to 4 32 to 24 3 to 4

The ratio is 8:32, which simplifies to 1:4

3 to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a field trip,

There are 8 adults.

There are 24 students.

Therefore the total number of people are; 8 + 24 = 32 people

Now, the ratio of students to the total number of people on the field trip is;

24 ratio 32

24 : 32 = 24 / 32

(8 can divide 24 to give us 3 on the numerator and 8 can divide 34 to give us 4 on the denominator)

= 3/4

= 3 : 4

Therefore, the ratio of students to the total number of people on the field trip is 3 to 4
