Question

.4 speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar. 5. Fill in the following blanks: IS 10 18 [Are these equivalent ratios?) 30​

Answer 1

Answer:

We use the concept of ratio and proportion to answer the given question.

We know that the distance travelled by Hamid in an hour = 9 km and the distance travelled by Akhtar in an hour = 12 km

We know that Speed = Distance travelled / Time Taken to travel the distance

Therefore, Speed of Hamid = Distance travelled by Hamid / Time Taken by Hamid to travel the distance = 9 km/hour

Therefore, Speed of Akhtar = Distance travelled by Akhtar / Time Taken by Akhtar to travel the distance =12 km/hour

Now, we need to find the ratio of the speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar

The ratio of the speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar = Speed of Hamid: Speed of Akhtar = 9:12

Now, in order to write the ratio in its simplest form, we divide 9 and 12 by a common factor of 3

Therefore, the ratio of the speed of Hamid to the speed of Akhtar = 3:4
