Total Players= 2800
Those who make to NBA= 50
Those that don't = 2800 - 50 = 2750
That is ratio of those make to those don't = 50 : 2750
And in lowest term = 1 : 55

If 2800 represents ALL the seniors playing basketball, and 50 OF THESE make it to NBA, that means that 2750 (2800 - 50) DON'T. The ratio of those who do (50) to those who don't (2750) is
50/2750 = 1/55
