Question

Look at the following number pairs: 1 and 365, 2 and 730, 3 and 1,095. The number pairs describe the relationship between which two units of time? Explain. *

Answer 1

The relationship is that between number of years and the number of days in that number of years

Explanation:

Let’s look at the pairs;

1 to 365

2 to 730

3 to 1095

These can also be written as;

1 to 365(1)

2 to 365(2)

3 to 365(3)

We can see we are having multiples of 365 and we move on.

The ratio 1 to 365 can be see as the number of days in a single year

What this means is that we are comparing the number of years to the number of days in that amount of time
