Correct!

 

The correct answer is G. 1/40 of 1,000 light bulbs were defective,

 so 1/40 (1,000) or 25 bulbs were defective.

 The rest, 1,000 – 25 or 975, were nondefective.

The ratio of defective to nondefective is 25/975= 1/39

F. If the ratio of defective bulbs to nondefective bulbs were 1/25,

then out of every 26 bulbs, 1 would be defective, so 1/26 of the bulbs would be defective.

But the fraction of defective bulbs is 1/40.

H. If the ratio of defective bulbs to nondefective bulbs were 1/40,

then out of every 41 bulbs, 1 would bedefective, so 1/41 of the bulbs would be defective.

But the fraction of defective bulbs is 1/40

J. If the ratio of defective bulbs to nondefective bulbs were 39/1,

then out of every 40 bulbs, 39 would bedefective, so 39/40of the bulbs would be defective.

But the fraction of defective bulbs is 1/40

K. If the ratio of defective bulbs to nondefective bulbs were 40/1,

then out of every 41 bulbs, 40 would be defective, so 40/41of the bulbs would be defective.

But the fraction of defective bulbs is 1/40
