Question

What is the ratio of the two values and what new value do they produce? $280 in 7m

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio between two values A and B is just the quotient between these two values:

ratio = A/B

a) $280 in 7m

Here the ratio is:

$280/7m = $40/m

This also can be read as:

$40 per meter.

b) 105 miles in 2 hours

Here the ratio is:

105mi/2h = 52.5 mi/h

This also can be read as:

52.5 miles per hour

c) $33 for 5lb

The ratio is:

$33/5lb = $6.6/lb

This can be read as:

$6.6 per pound.

d) 50 pages in 2 hours

the ratio is:

(50 pages)/2h = 25 pages/h

this can be read as:

25 pages per hour.
