Question

For each 11 mm of coloured fabric Nick uses to make his curtains, he also uses 2 cm of white fabric. Express the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric as a ratio in its simplest form.

Answer 1

The amount of white fabric to coloured fabric as a ratio is 20:11

Explanation:

We are given that For each 11 mm of colored fabric Nick uses to make his curtains, he also uses 2 cm of white fabric.

Length of colored fabric = 11 mm

Length of White fabric = 2 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

2 cm = 20 mm

So, length of white fabric = 20 mm

So, Ratio of the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric =
`(20)/(11)`

Hence the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric as a ratio is 20:11
