The ratio of two numbers is just a division... the ratio of 24% to 22% is 24/22 = 12/11. You don't even need to consider that 400,000 people were surveyed.

The ratio is 12:11

# ppl that liked WCLM = 0.24*400
# ppl that liked WANR = 0.22*400

ration of WCLM over WANR is 0.24*400/(0.22*400) = 24/22 = 12/11
