write your answer as a fraction. use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the values

Votes in favor = 10, Votes against = 40.

Step2: Find the ratio

Ratio of votes in favor to against is $\frac{10}{40}$, simplify to $\frac{1}{4}$ (or keep as $\frac{10}{40}$ as per instruction to use slash).

Answer:

10/40 (or 1/4, but 10/40 matches the initial numbers)
