Question

A farmer produced 3/5times as much peanuts this season as he did last season. What is the ratio of last season's production as compared to this season's?​

Answer 1

Let the production last year be x kg .

Production this year =8/5×last year production

=8/5×x

Ratio of last season to this season = x/8/5x

= 1/8/5

= 5/8

So the ratio is 5:8
