See here 586 is divided by 451, we get 1/1.29

Which is approx. 1/1.3

Thats all but consumes some time.

We get 456/586 = (0.77)

Round off to 450/590(0.76) aprox then it becomes 45/59 = 3/4

= 1/( 4/3) = 1/1.3

Ami said:   1 decade ago
When i divide 586 by 451, i got 1.30

How this can be 1:1.30?

Ami said:   1 decade ago

Jagan 45/59 is nearly equal to 45/60 i.e 3/4

Rashmi said:   1 decade ago
We can solve it in a very simple way as follows:

Expenses in FUEL & TRANS is how much increased to that of expenses in TAXES.

We can find the increase in percentage like this->

586-451/451 x 100% = 30%.

i.e 100/130 = 10/13 or 10:13.
