Answer 2

Answer:

3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Mr. Tan had cloth = 60m

Cloth used by him for shirts = 24m

To find -

The ratio of length of cloth he had left to the length of cloth he used

Solution -

Cloth left = Total cloth - cloth used

= 60 m - 24 m

= 36 m

Ratio of length of cloth left to the length of cloth used

= 36 m : 24 m

= 36 : 24

= 36÷12 : 24÷12

= 3 : 2

Hence the ratio of length of cloth he had left to the length of cloth he used (in simplest form) =

3 : 2
