Question

Rami is sketching drawings for his friends. He creates 5 sketches each hour.Write a ratio,in lowest terms,that compares the number of sketches Rami makes to the amount of time, in minutes

Answer 1

1:12

Explanation:

Rami creates 5 Sketches each hour.

Now using the standard time conversion unit,

1 hour = 60 Minutes

We want to write a ratio that compares the number of sketches made by Rami to her time in Minutes.

This is given as:

5 Sketches : 60 Minutes.

To reduce it to its lowest form, divide both sides of the ratio by 5.

[TeX]\frac{5}{5}[/TeX] : [TeX]\frac{60}{5}[/TeX]

1:12

The ratio is 1:12

The interpretation of this is that Rami makes 1 Sketch for every 12 Minutes.
