Simple method :
Taxes = 451.
Fuel & transportation = 451+135 =586.
Taxes( Total = 451) 100 % : Fuel & Trans 130% ( 100% = 451 + 30% =135, Total =586 ).
TAXES 100 Fuel & Trans 130.
Therefore = 10 x 10 = 100 = 10 x 13 = 130.
So 10 13.
Answer 10 : 13.
Taxes = 451.
Fuel & transportation = 451+135 =586.
Taxes( Total = 451) 100 % : Fuel & Trans 130% ( 100% = 451 + 30% =135, Total =586 ).
TAXES 100 Fuel & Trans 130.
Therefore = 10 x 10 = 100 = 10 x 13 = 130.
So 10 13.
Answer 10 : 13.

But why do you use 10 to multiply?
Anyone, Please explain.

Divide 586 by 451 approx there will be 1.3,
Then easily ratio will be 1/ 1.3 = 10:13.
Then easily ratio will be 1/ 1.3 = 10:13.

For easy calculate 451/586.
451*1 goes numerator.
And,
Denominator 1.29,so excatly 1.3,
1/1.3----------> point goes 10/13 for the ratio.

451:586 = 451/451:586/451 = 1:1.299.
Which is aprox equal to 1:1.3 = 10:13.
Which is aprox equal to 1:1.3 = 10:13.

Here the question is about approximation, not about the exact ratio. the total expenditure on fuel and on taxes 586 and 451 respectively.
Now, as per the question, we are going to find the ratio of fuel with respect to taxes.
586/451.
We get. 1:1.3 or 1/1.3.
We are not going to take decimal in the ratio.
So, we'll multiply with 10 bcoz the decimal is just before one digit. If the decimal is before two digits we ll multiply with 100. So it is 10:13.
Hope it is clear.
