The question asks for the ratio of FOREIGN students to local. Thus, the # of foreign students has to come first.

120/630.

Simplify to 12/63 or 19% (percentages ARE ratios too)

the ratio of foreign students to local students is

630:120
=630/120
=63/12
=21/4
since it cannot further be simplified
therfore the ratio of foreign students to local students is
21:4
