Hi, Can anyone Please clarify my doubt?

How (451/586 = 10/13). Please explain me with the easier method.

Aparna said:   1 decade ago
See here 586 is divided by 451, we get 1/1.29

Which is approx. 1/1.3

Thats all but consumes some time.

Manel said:   1 decade ago
How did you get the 1/1.29 answer particularly to 1?is it automatically to put 1 on 1.29 as a numerator?

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

Ok we got 1/1.3. But how we get 10:13?
Please can anyone explain in a ease way?

Ishrat said:   8 years ago
451:586 = 451/451:586/451 = 1:1.299.

Which is aprox equal to 1:1.3 = 10:13.

451:586 = 10:13

Solution:

451/451 = 1*10 = 10

586/451 = 1.3*10 = 13
