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 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.

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.
Take 451 as 450 and 586 as 590.
Because as per approximation or numbers whatever rule it is ex: if the last digit number comes in b/w 1-5 i..e 451, 252, 555..it becomes 450 250 550
where as if the last digit no comes in b/w 6-10 like 456, 227, 228, 449...then take it As 460, 230, 230, 450.
Now 450/590
45/59
45)59(1.3

Hey, @Ami you divided 586 by 451 and you got 1.3.
Actual is 451 divided by 586. You have to just reciprocal it. Then simply you will get 1:1.3.
That's it yar.

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