Question

In a certain city, the number of people who have health insurance is 1.5 times the number of people who don't have health insurance. What is the ratio of the number of people who have health insurance to the total number of people in the city?

• A. 2:3
• B. 2:5
• C. 3:5
• D. 3:7

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Let the number of people who don’t have health insurance be x. The number of people who have health insurance is 1.5x. So, the total number of people in the city is:

\[ x + 1.5x = 2.5x. \]

Step 2: The ratio of people with health insurance to the total number of people is:

\[ \frac{1.5x}{2.5x} = \frac{3}{5}. \]

Conclusion: The ratio is 3:5.
