A. 3:4
B. 2:3
C. 4:3
D. 3:2

Answer 1

ratio between first session (300) and second session (225)....
300 : 225

ratios can be written as fractions. 300:225 = 300/225...and when this is reduced, it becomes 4/3....which in turn, can become 4:3.

so ur answer is 4:3

Answer 2

Just simplify the proportion.
300 to 225
divide by 25 on both sides
12 : 9
Divide by 3 on both sides
4:3
Since we cannot reduce any further, the answer is C. 4:3
