2 out of 5 students are going on a field trip. What is the ratio of the number of students who are going on the field trip to the number of students who are staying at school?

*Write your answer as a fraction. Use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.*

To solve this, we first need to determine how many students are staying at school. If 2 out of 5 students are going on the field trip, then:

\[
\text{Number of students staying at school} = \text{Total students} - \text{Number of students going on the trip} = 5 - 2 = 3
\]

The ratio of the number of students going on the field trip to the number of students staying at school is:

\[
\frac{\text{Number of students going on the trip}}{\text{Number of students staying at school}} = \frac{2}{3}
\]

So, the answer is:

**2/3**
