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.

451:586 = 10:13
Solution:
451/451 = 1*10 = 10
586/451 = 1.3*10 = 13
Solution:
451/451 = 1*10 = 10
586/451 = 1.3*10 = 13

You can make it easy with an approximation.
45/58 = 1/1.3.
45/58 = 1/1.3.

Is there any easy method to solve this problem.

@Pihu.
Very simple method: (approximation).
(451 - 1) = 450 and (586 - 1) = 585.
Now take these 2 values for calculation (we have subtracted the same amount from both numbers).
Ratio = 450/585 = 90/117 = 30/39 = 10/13.
Then, ratio = 10:13.
