Answer 1

the answer is E 30:40

Answer 2

B.) 3:4

E.). 30:40

Explanation:

Given

Two individuals; Abe and Malik

Let Abe practicing time be represented by A

Let Malik practicing time be represented by M

From the question, we have that

A = 30 minutes

M = 10 minutes longer

So, M = 10 + A

M = 10 + 30

M = 40 minutes

Comparing Abe's practice time to Malik's practice time using ratio is done using the following expression;

Abe's Practice Time : Malik's Practice Time

= A : M

= 30 : 40

To simplify the ratio, we divide both ration by 10

= 30 / 10 : 40 / 10

= 3 : 4

Hence, the ration that compare's Abe's practice Time to Malik's practice time are 30 : 40 or 3 : 4

Going by this, we tick option B and E

B.) 3:4

E.). 30:40
