Help me ASAP for this question

Answer 1

Answer:

18 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic proportionality question. All we need to here is to expression the given fractions ( $11 \frac{2}{3}$, and $1 \frac{17}{18}$ ) as a fraction itself, and hence expressing the ratio we need to get, in fraction form.

$11 \frac{2}{3} / 1 \frac{17}{18}$ - So, we have expressed this in a fraction, which we want to reduce

$= \frac{35}{3} / \frac{35}{18}$ - The fractions have been taken as improper fractions

$\\\\= \frac{35}{3}( \frac{18}{35} )$ - Now we took the inverse fraction, through multiplication

$= 18 / 3$ - 35 and 35 cancel out, leaving us with the simplified fraction 18 / 3

_____

So now we have 18 / 3, the ratio in fraction form. The scale is thus 18 to 3, or in other words 18 : 3.
