Question

Jim can run a mile in 5 minutes and 50 seconds. John can run a mile in 6 minutes and 40 seconds. What is the ratio of Jim's time to John's tim

Answer 1

time taken by Jim =5min60sec=360sec

time taken by John = 6min40sec=400sec

ratio of time taken by Jim and john=360/400

=9/10

hence ratio of time taken by Jim and John is 9:10

Answer 2

Answer:

7:8

Step-by-step explanation:

now we have the time in minutes and seconds respectively. But it would be easy to find the ratio if the minutes are converted into seconds. so convert.

5 min=5×60=300+50=350 seconds

6 min=6×60=360+40=400 seconds

therefore find ratio
