Question: The table details the School Enrollment in the U.S. in two different years. Find the ratio of the number enrolled in the Elementary School to the number enrolled in the Secondary School during the year 1990.



A ) 7 : 6
B ) 6 : 7
C ) 6 : 17
D ) 17 : 6

Steps to derive

1 The Enrollment of the Elementary in 1990 was 34 million and in the Secondary was 12 million.

2 The ratio of the number enrolled in Elementary to that of Secondary School = 3412

3 = 34/212/2 = 176 = 17:6
 [Divide the numerator and the denominator by the G.C.F, 2.]

4 The ratio of the Enrollment of the Elementary to the Secondary was 17 : 6.



Hence the right answer is Option D
