Question

Prices are going up in the ratio 6:5 Write a 60% decrease as a ratio.

Answer 1

Answer:

To Decrease an amount in a given Ratio, we need to multiply by a fraction that is less than one. For example, in scaling down a recipe for four people into a recipe for 3 people, we would use the ratio of 3 : 4 which means we would multiply all our recipe amounts.
