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).

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

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

Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.

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

@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.

451)586(1.3
451
---
1350

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

Hi!

Why do we need to divide 451 to both 451 and 586?

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.

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

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.

Hi,

I didn't get it, please explain how 451/586 is 10/13?
