Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other. The general form of representing ratio of two quantities say a and b is a:b = [tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]
Adam measures the distance from one cactus to another at 18 feet.
Steven measures the distance from a different cactus to another at 120 inches
1 foot = 12 inch
18 feet = [tex]12\times18=216[/tex] inches
Here, we have to find the ratio of the distance measured by Adam to the distance measured by Steven
Ratio of the distance measured by Adam to the distance measured by Steven = [tex]216:120=\frac{216}{120}[/tex]
To simplify the fraction we divide both antecedent and consequent by 2 and 3 again and again until we get prime number
[tex]\frac{216\div2}{120\div2}= \frac{108\div2}{60\div2}= \frac{54\div2}{30\div2}=\frac{27\div3}{15\div3}=\frac{9}{5}=9:5[/tex]
[tex]9:5[/tex] is the ratio of the distance measured by Adam to the distance measured by Steven.
