Question

Write the following as a ratio: $72 for 488 photos

Answer 1

The required ratio is 9 : 61

Explanation:

Given,

$72 for 488 photos,

That is, the price of 488 photos = 72 dollars,

So, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos =
`(72)/(488)`

∵ HCF(72, 488) = 8,

Thus, the ratio of price of photos and number of photos =
`(72/ 8)/(488/ 8)`

=
`(9)/(61)`
