Question

For each 48 mm of coloured fabric Fiona uses to make her curtains, she also uses 1.2 cm of white fabric. Express the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric as a ratio in its simplest form​

Answer 1

1:40

Explanation:

white - 1.2 coloured - 48

= 1.2 : 48 to put this in its simplest form you...

*make them both whole numbers... Divide both by 10

=12 : 480 now find highest common factor, which is 12

12 divide by 12 = 1

48 divide by 12 = 10

= 1 : 40
