Help me ASAP for this question

Answer 1

18 : 3

Explanation:

Basic proportionality question. All we need to here is to expression the given fractions (
`11 (2)/(3)`, and
`1 (17)/(18)` ) as a fraction itself, and hence expressing the ratio we need to get, in fraction form.

`11 (2)/(3) / 1 (17)/(18)\\\\` - So, we have expressed this in a fraction, which we want to reduce

`= (35)/(3) / (35)/(18)` - The fractions have been taken as improper fractions

`\\\\= (35)/(3)( (18)/(35) )\\ \\` - Now we took the inverse fraction, through multiplication

`= 18 / 3` - 35 and 35 cancel out, leaving us with the simplified fraction 18 / 3

_____

So now we have 18 / 3, the ratio in fraction form. The scale is thus 18 to 3, or in other words 18 : 3.
