Q. The table shows the number of middle school students participating in a science fair.\newline\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\newline\hline \multicolumn{22}{|c|}{ Science Fair Participants } \\\newline\hline Grade & Number of Students \\\newline\hline 66 & 1111 \\\newline\hline 77 & 1616 \\\newline\hline 88 & 1717 \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newlineWhat is the ratio of seventh graders to total students? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
  1. Calculate Total Students: Calculate the total number of students by adding the number of students from each grade.\newlineTotal students = 6th6^{\text{th}} graders + 7th7^{\text{th}} graders + 8th8^{\text{th}} graders\newlineTotal students = 11+16+1711 + 16 + 17
  2. Perform Addition: Perform the addition to find the total number of students.\newlineTotal students = 4444
  3. Find Seventh Graders: Find the number of seventh graders from the table.\newlineNumber of 7th7^{\text{th}} graders = 1616
  4. Calculate Ratio: Calculate the ratio of seventh graders to total students.\newlineRatio = Number of 77th graders / Total students\newlineRatio = 1644\frac{16}{44}
  5. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction to its simplest form. Ratio = 411\frac{4}{11}
