Question

Give any decimals in your answer to 2 d.p.

Answer 1

To write the ratio of melons to apples in the form 1:n, we need to divide the number of melons by the number of apples:

93 melons ÷ 41 apples = 2.268...

Rounding this to 2 decimal places, we get:

2.27

Therefore, the ratio of melons to apples in the form 1:n is:

1:2.27 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
