The tables that follow report the marital status of 20 respondents in two different apartment complexes. Read
Question:
Read each of the following problems carefully before constructing the fraction and solving for the answer.
(Make sure you have the correct numbers in the numerator and denominator before solving these problems. For example, problem 2.1a asks which "percentage of the respondents at each complex are married" and the denominators will be 20 for these two fractions. On the other hand, problem 2.1d, asks which "percentage of the single respondents live in Complex B" and the denominator for this fraction will be 4 1 6, or 10.)

b. What is the ratio of single to married respondents at each complex?
