Question

in a telephone poll, 3 people said they like shopping and 14 people said they do not like shopping. what is the ratio of the number of people who do not like shopping to the total number of people polled? 14:17 14:3 3:17 3:14

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people

The number of people who like shopping is 3 and the number of people who don't like shopping is 14. So the total number of people is \(3 + 14=17\).

Step2: Find the required ratio

The ratio of the number of people who do not like shopping to the total number of people is \(14:17\).

Answer:

14:17
