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
