Question

James and Cameron are watching a film. They pause it with one fifth left to watch. What is the ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see is 4 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that the total duration of the film is, 1.

It is provided that James and Cameron paused when there is one-fifth left to watch.

That is, they have already watched, $1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}$ th of the film.

Compute the ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see as follows:

$\frac{\text{Duration Watched}}{\text{Duration Left}}=\frac{4/5}{1/5}=\frac{4}{1}=4:1$

Thus, the ratio of how much they have watched to how much they have left to see is 4 : 1.
