Answer 2

49:52

Explanation:

Given that:

Total number of contacts on phone = 52

Family members in phone book : dad, mom, brother

Total number of family members = 3

Hence, non family members = 52 - 3 = 49

Number of family members to total phone contact

Selecting a contact that is not a family member :

49 : 52
