Question

A cyclist takes as much time in running 12 meters as a motor-cyclist takes in covering 36 meters. what is the ratio of the speeds of them?

Answer 1

A cyclist takes as much time in running 12 meters as a motor-cyclist takes in covering 36 meters.
speed=
12:36=1:3

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of speeds is 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Time Taken for Cyclist is 12 meters

   Time Taken for Motor-cyclist is 36 meters

Step 2: To calculate the ratio of speed both Cyclist and Motor Cyclist is  

Step 3: If the ratios of speed is a : b : c, then the ratios of time taken is : 1/a:1/b:1/c  

Step 4: Ratio of the speed of both cyclist and motor cyclist =1/a:1/b

=1/36:1/12

=1:3
