Make 4/28 in to a fraction. Subtract 4 from 28. That leaves with 24 students that didnt go to summer school out of 28. Then simplify, to get you with 6/7. MUST BE READ: Ratios are read in three types: 6/7, 6 to 7, or 6:7. BE AWARE. ONLY USE THESE THREE TYPES ON A TEST OR A STRICT TEACHER.

Answer: Hello!

You know that 4 out of 28 had to take summer school, and you want to know the ratio of students who did not have to take summer school.

If 4 out of 28 had to take it, then 28 - 4 = 24 did not have to take sumer school.

then the ratio for 24 out of 28, is 24/28

Now we want to express it in it's lowest therms.

if we divide both sides of our division by 4, we got that 24/4 = 6 and 28/4 = 7, then our ratio 24/28 can be writen as 6/7.
