Question

Joshua is 11 years old, and his dad is 33 years old. What is the ratio of Joshua's age to his dad's age?

Answer 1

1 : 3

Explanation:

Given,

The age of Joshua = 11 years,

While, the age of his dad = 33 years,

Thus,

`\text{The ratio of Joshua's age to his dad's age}=\frac{\text{Joshua's age}}{\text{His dad's age}}`

`=(11)/(33)`

∵ HCF(11, 33) =11

`=(11/ 11)/(33/ 11)`

`=(1)/(3)`
