Note: Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. It takes Pam 45 minutes to drive to work and 60 minutes to drive home from work. Write the ratio of the time Pam spends driving home from work to the time she spends driving to work in three different ways.

Answer 1

1) Gathering the data

Pam -----> 45' to drive to work and 60' to drive home

2) Writing the ratio in 3 different ways:

`(d_H)/(d_W)\text{ =}(45)/(60)\text{ =}(3)/(4)=0.75`

3) So this ratio can be written as 45/60 or 3/4 or 0.75 since we write on the numerator and the denominator the amount of time spent commuting, and the second one is after simplifying and the last one as a decimal number.
