Guys if the question is the ratio between the Fuel.

And Transport (586) the total expenditure on Taxes (451) mean when the condition is 586/451 then what answer of that question please explain that.

I am unable to catch the calculation friends. Please can you discuss clearly?

Guys,

I hope you understood how we got to 451/586.

Now just divide numerator and denominator with 451.

i.e. , (451/451)/(586/451) and that is equal to 1/1.29. So rounding off the denominator to one digit gives 1/1.3.

Now multiplying numerator and denominator by 10 gives (1*10)/(1.3*10).

And thus we arrive at the solution i.e. , 10/13.

Its that needs to divide twice?

1st 451 divide by 586 = 0.77 (approx).

2nd time 586 divide by 451 = 1.3.

Is this is the way to calculate? Please suggest. Thanks.

451)586(1.3
451

1350

1353(approx) i.e near number, hence 451/586 = 1/13.

@Sonam its simple.

We just need to multiply numerator and denominator by 10 so as to eliminate the decimal. We need fraction as a whole number.

1*10/1.3*10 = 10/13.

Consider single year(1998) taxes and fuel, expenditure and calculate the ratio between them.

Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.

98:83 = 98/83 = 10/13.

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

When you divide x by y (x/y) you put 1 in the place of y and the quotient in the place of x.

Eg: 4 divided by 2 (or 4/2) is 2... actually it is 2 by 1 (or 2/1)..but here the denominator 1 has no real meaning.. so we take the answer as 2 alone.

However if you take the numerator as the divisor (in this case 451) and denominator as dividend (586) you need to put 1 in place of the divisor (i.e, numerator) and quotient in the place of dividend (i.e, denominator).

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