Find the ratio of number of vowels in the word’ MISSISSIPPI’ to the number of consonants in the simplest form.

The number of vowels in the word’ MISSISSIPPI’ = 4(I) = 4

The number of consonants in the word’ MISSISSIPPI’ = (1M,4S,2P) = 7




Or


The number of vowels in the word’ MISSISSIPPI’ = (I) = 1


The number of consonants in the word’ MISSISSIPPI’ = (M,S,P) = 3
