In 1995 a total of 250 earthquakes occurred worldwide, some but not all of which occurred in Asia. If 100 of these earthquakes occurred in Asia, which of the following represents the ratio of the number of earthquakes that occurred in Asia to the number that did NOT occur in Asia?
Choose the correct choice from the following options:  A) 2/3  B) 1/3  C) 1/4  D) 3/4  E) 5/8
We're given a couple of facts to work with:   1) There were a total of 250 earthquakes   2) Of those earthquakes, 100 of them occurred in Asia   We're asked for the ratio of the number of earthquakes that occurred IN ASIA to the number of earthquakes that DID NOT occur in Asia.   Thus, there were 150 earthquakes that DID NOT occur in Asia....   The answer to the question is 100/150 = 2/3   2/3nswer : 2/3
