Answer 1

Given, total number of newspapers $=312$
And the number of English newspapers $=216$
$\therefore$Number of Hindi newspapers $=$Total number of newspapers $-$ Number of English Newspapers $=312-216=96$

The ratio of the number of English newspapers to the number of Hindi newspapers $=\frac{NumberofEnglishnewspapers}{NumberofHindinewspapers}$

$=\frac{216}{96}$

$=\frac{9}{4}$ (on dividing numerator and denominator by $24$)

$=9:4$
Hence, the ratio of the number of English newspapers to the number of Hindi newspapers is $9:4$.
