Question

2.) Tom ran 32 miles this summer and Bill ran 24 miles. What is the ratio, in simplest form of the amount of miles Bill ran compared to amount of miles Tom ran?

Answer 1

To find the ratio of the amount of miles Bill ran compared to the amount of miles Tom ran, we divide the number of miles Bill ran by the number of miles Tom ran.

Ratio of Bill's miles to Tom's miles = 24 miles / 32 miles = 3/4

The ratio, in simplest form, is 3/4.
