Question 55

Ramesh earns Rs. 28000 per month. His wife Rama earns Rs. 36000 per month. Find the ratio of
(a) Ramesh's earning to their total earning.
(b) Rama's earning to their total earning.

Answer 1

Given, Ramesh earns = Rs. 28000 per month
His wife Rama earns = Rs. 36000 per month
Total earning = Ramesh's earning + Rama's earning

= Rs. (28000 + 36000) = Rs. 64000 per month
(a) Ratio of Ramesh's earning to their total earning = $\frac{Rs.28000}{Rs.64000}$

= $\frac{7}{16}=7:16$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 4000]

(b) Ratio of Rama's earning to their total earning = $\frac{Rs.36000}{Rs.64000}$

= $\frac{9}{16}=9:16$ [on dividing numerator and denominator by 4000]
