Answer 12

A ratio is a comparison of two numbers by dividing one by the other.
One way of showing a ratio is a s a fraction since a fraction means division.
The ratio of A to B is the division of A by B. Write it as a fraction and reduce it.

Answer 13

The ratio of people who prefer mystery movies to drama movies is found by looking up the two numbers in that order:
number of people who prefer mystery movies: 80
number of people who prefer drama movies: 200

The ratio is: \(\dfrac{80}{200} \)

Now just reduce the fraction: \(\dfrac{80}{200} = \dfrac{40 \times 2}{40 \times 5} = \dfrac{2}{5}\)

BTW, this is just a more detailed explanation, but @Susanna did a good job above explaining it.
