Question

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. [2 marks]

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 (1 mark)
(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] (1 mark)
