Question

the first time a moive was made in a city, the xast and crew spent 66 1/2 days filming winter scenes. the next year, another movie was filmed in 6 1/4 weeks. find the ratio of the moives filming time to the second moive time. compare in weeks.(type a whole number or a simplified fraction)

Answer 1

38/25

Explanation:

In weeks, the first movie took

... (66 1/2 days)/(7 days/week) = (133/(2·7)) weeks = 19/2 weeks

The second movie took 25/4 weeks, so the ratio of times is ...

... (19/2)/(25/4) = (38/4)/(25/4) = 38/25

_____

It doesn't matter what the units of comparison are, as long as they're both the same. The result will be unchanged.
