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
45
---
140
135
_____
1/1.3
1*10/1.3/10

10/13.

I'm not getting how to calculate the ratio 451/586?

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.

How you taken 30%.

Rozie said:   1 decade ago
Simplify 451/586 : 586/451 = 0.76 : 1.28.

Approx.
1 : 1.3.

Note that you can't leave ratio in decimal figure. So, you multiply (1:1.3) by 10
= 10 : 13.

That's all.

Simple method :

Taxes = 451.

Fuel & transportation = 451+135 =586.

Taxes( Total = 451) 100 % : Fuel & Trans 130% ( 100% = 451 + 30% =135, Total =586 ).

TAXES 100 Fuel & Trans 130.

Therefore = 10 x 10 = 100 = 10 x 13 = 130.

So 10 13.

Answer 10 : 13.

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

Ami said:   1 decade ago
