Answer 2

Given:

Nikhil brought 12 guavas and 16 chikoos.

To Find:

find the ratio of guavas to chikoos?​

Solution:

When two quantities are compared together in the form of division as p/q form and expressed as p:q then it is known as a ratio. The ratio is always taken between the same quantities, and also the units should be the same.

The sign used to denoted ratio is ':'

In the given question we have 12 guavas and 16 chikoos, so the ratio of guava to chikoo will be,

$Ratio=\frac{guava}{chikoo} \\=\frac{12}{16}$

Now we need to simplify the ratio by dividing both numerator and denominator by 4, we have,

$Ratio=\frac{12}{16} \\=\frac{3}{4}\\=3:4$

Hence, the ratio of guava to chikoo is 3:4.
