Question
The students of a school belong to different religious backgrounds. The number of Hindu students is 288, the number of Muslim students is 252, the number of Sikh students is 144 and the number of Christian students is 72. Find the ratio of the number of Muslim students to the total number of students.
Solution
Number of Hindu students = 288
Number of Muslim students = 252
Number of Sikh students = 144
Number of Christian students = 72
∴ Total number of students in the school = 288 + 252 + 144 + 72 = 756
The required ratio = `"Number of Muslim students"/"Total number of students"`
= `252/756 = 1/3` = 1:3
