Given that there are 10 children who own a dog, and 14 children who do not, the ratio of the children that owns a dog to the children that do not own a dog, is 10:14.

To express the ratio in a simplify fraction, we will just use fractional notation.  Thus, it is simply 10/14, or 5/7 as its simplest form.

Answer:

The ratio in simplified fraction [tex]=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of children who own a dog  [tex]=10[/tex]

and the number of children who do not own a dog [tex]=14[/tex]

So, the total number of children in the class  [tex]=10+14=24[/tex]

Thus, the ratio of the number of children that on a dog to the number of children in the class will be:  [tex]10:24[/tex]

Simplified fraction:

[tex]10:24=\frac{10}{24}=\frac{5}{12}\ \ [Dividing\ both\ 10\ and\ 24\ by\ 2][/tex]

So, the ratio in simplified fraction [tex]=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
