Question

Answer 1

Answer:

2:1 is the ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the ratio terms to get the whole. Use this as the denominator. 1800 :900 => 1800 +900 = 2800

Convert the ratio into fractions. Each ratio term becomes a numerator in a fraction. 1800 : 900 =>1800/2800,900/2800.

Therefore, in the part-to-part ratio 1800 : 900, 1800 is 1800/2800 of the whole and 900 is 900/2800 of the whole.

1800÷2800=0.6

900÷2800=0.3

0.6* 100=60

0.3*100=30

60/30=2/1=2:1
