If 108 of the 180 participants in club activities are residents, what is the ratio of nonresidents to residents who participate in club activities? Answer = (a):(b



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

We are given a total of 180 participants in club activities, and we are told that 108 of these participants are residents.

We first find out the number of non-residence who participate by subtracting the number of residents from the total number of participants,

Non-residents = Total participants - Residents = 180 - 108 = 72.

Step 2:

Next, we create a ratio of non-residents to residents. This ratio is then simplified to its lowest term.

The ratio of non-residents to residents =  = ,

Dividing the top and bottom of the fraction by the highest number that can divide both, which is 36, we get the ratio in its simplest form i.e.,

.

Therefore, the ratio of non-residents to resident participants in club activities is 2:3 in low

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Okay lets take the problem apart. The given information is that there is 108 out of 180 that are RESIDENTS. This makes it so that, when subtracted, there are 72 NONRESIDENTS that participate in club activities. This can be described below:

[tex]108/180 = Residents/Total\\72/180 = NonResidents/Toal\\72/180 = NonResidents/Residents\\\\72/180 = 2/3\\[/tex]

So, for every 2 non-residents, there are three residents participants in club activities.
