Question

The ratio of land to water on the hold of the world is one is 22 and it is to is 23 and the northern hemisphere the ratio of land and water on the southern hemisphere is

Answer 1

4:11

Let us say that the total quantity is 120x

Land is 40x and water in 80x

Quantity in northern hemisphere = 120x / 2 = 60x

Land in Northern hemisphere = (2/5)*60x = 24x

Land in Southern hemisphere = 40x - 24x = 16x

Water in Southern hemisphere = 60x - 16x = 44x

Required ratio = 16x : 44x = 4:1
