Hey, can anyone explain me this problem in the easiest method?

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).

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

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

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.
