Hey, can anyone explain me this problem in the easiest method?

451:586 = 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.

I agree Vithya method is very easy to catch it.

Rapheal said:   9 years ago
Is there any easy method to solve this problem.

Vithya said:   9 years ago
@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.
