Give your answer in its simplest form

Answer 1

20/60

=1/3

the ratio is 1:3

Answer 2

The required ratio would be 1:3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken by Colin to cover = 20 minutes

Time taken by Dan to cover = 1 hour

We need to find the ratio in simplest form:

As we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

Time for colin   :  Time for Dan

     20                :       60

      1                  :        3

Hence, the required ratio would be 1:3.
