Question

Melkon travels 8/11 miles to the grocery store. Tamar travels 12 miles to the grocery store. Write the ratio of the distance Tamar travels to the distance Melkon travels as a fraction in simplest form. Write the ratio of the distance Melkon travels to the distance Tamar travels as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: 33/2 and 96/11.

Explanation:

The ratio of the distance Tamar travels to the distance Melkon travels:

`(12)/((8)/(11) ) =(12 \cdot 11)/(8) =(132)/(8) =(33 \cdot 4)/(2 \cdot 4) =(33)/(2)`

The ratio of the distance Melkon travels to the distance Tamar travels:

`((8)/(11) )/(12) =(8 \cdot 12)/(11) =(96)/(11)`
