Correct Answer: 1.286

Answering the Question:

The neutron to proton ratio is calculated by determining the number of neutrons present for each proton. The ratio is calculated by dividing the number of neutrons by the number of protons (number of neutrons/number of protons). If you calculate the neutron to proton ratio and there is an equal number of protons and neutrons the ratio is 1. For fewer neutrons than protons it is less than 1 and for more neutrons than protons it is greater than 1. If you get a result outside of this then it is an indication that you probably have an error in the calculation.
