Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio = 34:39        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Time spent on filming first movie =

$59\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ days}$

Converting intro weeks:

$t_1 = \dfrac{\frac{119}{2}}{7} = 8\dfrac{1}{2}\text{ weeks}$

Time spent on filming second movie =

$t_2 = 9\dfrac{3}{4}\text{ weeks}$

We have to find the ratio of filming time.

Ratio =

$\dfrac{t_1}{t_2} = \dfrac{8\frac{1}{2}}{9\frac{3}{4}} = \dfrac{\frac{17}{2}}{\frac{39}{4}}\\\\=\dfrac{17\times 4}{39\times 2} = \dfrac{34}{39}$

Thus, 34:39 is the ration of the first movies filming time to the second movies filming time.
