Question

In a school, there were $73$ holidays in one year. What is the ratio of the number of holidays to the number of days in one year?

Answer 1

Number of holidays in one year = $73$

Number of days in an year = $365$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathrm{Ratio}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{holidays}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{days}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{one}\mathrm{year}& =& \frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{holidays}}{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{days}\mathrm{in}1\mathrm{year}}\\ & =& \frac{73}{365}\\ & =& 73:365\end{array}$

Hence, required ratio = $73:365$
