Question

Carol spent 3 hours on homework and Timothy spent 45 minutes on homework. What is the ration of the time Carol spent on homework to the time Timothy spent on homework * i got 8:1*

a) 1:15
b) 1:4
c) 20:3
d) 4:1

Answer 1

It’s d)4:1
First we have to convert hours into minutes so we have to multiply 3x60=180
Second we need to divide Carol’s spent over Timothy’s spent time. 180/45=4
This gives us the ratio of 4:1

Answer 2

it’s 4/1 because you want to get 3 hours converted into minutes, which is 180 minutes. Put 180/45 and simplify it, and the answer is 4/1
