Question

At the gym, Alex spends 24 minutes doing

resistance training for every 30 minutes
spent doing cardio exercises, Carisa spends
15 minutes on resistance for every

20 minutes on cardio, and Manuel spends

14 minutes on resistance for every

15 minutes on cardio. Which person has the
greatest ratio of minutes spent on resistance
to minutes spent on cardio?

Answer 1

Manuel has the greatest ration of minutes spent on resistance to minutes spent on cardio.

Explanation:

Alex - 24:30 is simplified to 4:5 (decimal: 0.8)

Carisa - 15:20 is simplified to 3:4 (decimal: 0.75)

Manuel - 14:15 cannot be simplified - (decimal: 0.9333333333)

Manuel's ratio is greater than the others.
