Answer:

15 more pedestrians than cyclists

Step-by-step explanation:

2:7 ratio tells us two cyclists for every seven pedestrians so out of every 9 people 2 are cyclists and 7 are pedestrians.

27/9=3

So we have 3 groups of 9...

3×2=6

&

3×7=21

so

6 cyclists and 21 pedestrians

subtract cyclists from pedestrians to find difference...

21-6=15
