Question

Write the ratio as a fraction in simplest form, with whole numbers in the numerator and denominator.

40 min 25 min

Answer 1

Part A is 8/13 of the whole

Part B is 5/13 of the whole

Explanation:

Assuming there are no other parts,

the Whole = A + B is the denominator:

Whole = 40 + 25 = 65

Part A = 40 and Part B = 25 are numerators for each fraction.

The fractions are then:

40/65 and 25/65

Meaning:

Part A is 40/65 of the whole

Part B is 25/65 of the whole

Reducing the fractions, it is also true that:

Part A = 8/13 of the whole

Part B = 5/13 of the whole
