Question

On a particular day Sylvia worked 3 hours and 45 minutes while Paul worked 4 hours and 35 minutes what's the ratio of Sylvia work time to Paul's work time in minutes?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is ratio = 9/11

Explanation:

Sylvia 3:45

Paul 4:35

Ratio Sylvia / Paul

Process

1.- Convert the time to minutes

Sylvia 1 h --------------- 60 min

3 h --------------- x

x = (3 x 60) / 1

x = 180 min

Total time = 180 + 45 = 225 min

Paul

1 h --------------- 60 min

4 h -------------- x

x = (4 x 60) / 1

x = 240 min

Total time = 240 + 35 = 275 min

2.- Find the ratio Sylvia / Paul

225/275 = 45/55 = 9/11
