Find the ratio between

(i) 4 months and 1 year 6 months.

Answer 1

The units of the numbers in a ratio is always same.

Here, 1 year is equivalent to 12 months. So, 1 year 6 months is equal to $12+6=18$ months.

Therefore,

$\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}4\mathrm{months}\mathrm{and}1\mathrm{year}6\mathrm{months}=\frac{4}{18}$

$=\frac{2}{9}(Cancellingoutthecommonfactors)$
