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?

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

Consider single year(1998) taxes and fuel, expenditure and calculate the ratio between them.
Taxes: Fuel and expenditure.
98:83 = 98/83 = 10/13.
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.

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.
