Question

Express in the form n:1 give n as a decimal 21:12

Answer 1

$1.75:1$ which is similar to n:1 where $n=1.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to Express in the form n:1 give n as a decimal 21:12 . Let's find out:

Given ratio as 21:12 . Let's convert it into n:1 , where n is decimal

⇒ $21:12$

⇒ $\frac{21}{12}$

⇒ $\frac{3(7)}{3(4)}$

⇒ $\frac{7}{4}$

⇒ $\frac{\frac{7}{4}}{\frac{4}{4}}$                      { dividing denominator & numerator by 4 }

⇒ $\frac{\frac{7}{4}}{1}$

⇒ $\frac{1.75}{1}$

⇒ $1.75:1$ which is similar to n:1 where $n=1.75$
