We have to express the ratio 1 : 3.5 in the form p:q where p and q are whole numbers.
Consider the ratio of 1 and 3.5,
1 : 3.5 =
=
Reducing the above fraction to its lowest form.
So, we get
Therefore, the ratio 1 : 3.5 is expressed as
where 2 and 7 are the whole numbers.
Answer:
There were 49 questions on this Geometry test.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by setting up a proportion:
x = total number of questions on Geometry test
=
Now, to solve for x, cross multiply:
75.51x = 3700
Finally, isolate x and solve:
x = 49.0001324328
This is very close to 49.
