Question

A:b=7.2

How many times larger is a than b?
Does anyone understand this?

PLEASE HELP ASAP

Answer 1

3.5 times as large

Explanation:

The ratio can be written using a colon or a fraction bar. In the latter case, simplifying the fraction gives you your answer:

a : b = 7 : 2 = 7/2

'a' is 7/2 = 3.5 times as large as 'b'
