Question

Two-third of Leon's tropical fish in his tank is equal to one-fourth of harry's tropical fish in his tank Find the ratio of the no. Of Leon's tropical fish to the no. Of harry's tropical fish What fraction of the number of harry's tropical fish is the number of Leon's tropical fish

Answer 1

L : H Ratio = 3 : 8 , L as a fraction of H = 3/8

Explanation:

Let the no. of Leon's tropical fish be = L

Let the no. of Harry's tropical fish be = H

Given : 2/3 L = 1/4 H

L / H = 1/4 (3/2)

L : H = 3 : 8

Let total fishes or common ratio = x

L = 3/11 (x) , H = 8/11 (x)

Fraction L / H = [ 3/11 (x) ] / [ 8/11 (x) ]

L / H = 3/8
