The ratio of time taken by Henry to time taken by Gavin is 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Henry for each set = 36 minutes

Time taken by Gavin for each set = 1 hour

We will convert Gavin's time into minutes.

Time taken by Gavin for each set = 60 minutes

Ratio;

Time taken by Henry : Time taken by Gavin

$36:60$

Dividing by 6

$\frac{36}{6}:\frac{60}{6}\\6:10$

Dividing by 2

$\frac{6}{2}:\frac{10}{2}\\3:5$

The ratio of time taken by Henry to time taken by Gavin is 3:5
