On a particular day, Sylvia worked 3 hours and 45 minutes, while Paul worked 4 hours and 35 minutes. What’s the ratio of Sylvia’s work time to Paul’s work time, in minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9:11.

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the 2 times to minutes:

Sylvia worked for 3*60 + 45 =  225 minutes.

Paul worked 4*60 + 35 = 275 minutes.

So the ratio is 225:275. Simplifying:

225 / 25 : 275/25

= 9 : 11 (answer).
