Question

Nora has $400 in her savings account while Ahmad has $450 in his savings account. Express each of the following in its simplest form

a) What is the ratio of Ahmad’s to Nora’s savings [1]
b) What is the ratio of Nora’s savings to total savings?

Answer 1

`\\ \tt\longmapsto (Ahmed)/(Nora)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto (450)/(400)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto (9)/(8)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 9:8`

• Total savings=400+450=850

Ratio

`\\ \tt\longmapsto (400)/(850)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto 8:17`
