Answer 1

The ratio of seventh-grade students to sixth-grade students who chose comedy as their favorite movie type is 2 to 1, answer A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to find the ratio of seventh-grade students to sixth-grade students who chose comedy as their favorite movie type. To find this ratio, we compare the number of students in each grade that chose comedy.

For the seventh grade, 96 students chose comedy, and 48 students made that choice for the sixth grade. By dividing 96 by 48, we get a ratio of 2 to 1. Therefore, for every two seventh graders that chose comedy, one-sixth graders made the same choice. This means the correct answer is A) 2 to 1.

Answer 2

96 to 48 and you’d simplify it:
