In the Metro Bicycle Club, 6 of 48 members are females. What is the ratio of females to all club members?

Solution

D. To find the ratio of one number to another, create a fraction to show the relationship. In this problem, there are 6 female club members out of a total of 48 members. So the fraction that shows the relationship is 6/48. This fraction needs to be simplified to 1/8, the correct answer. You might see a ratio written as 1:8 on the ASVAB test. 1/8 and 1:8 mean the same thing.
