Write the ratio of melons to apples in the form 1:n.
Give any decimals in your answer to 2 d.p.
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)
To find the ratio of melons to apples, we divide the number of melons by the number of apples.
Ratio = Melons : Apples
Ratio = 93 : 41
Simplifying the ratio, we divide both sides by the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 93 and 41, which is 1.
Ratio = 93 ÷ 1 : 41 ÷ 1
Ratio = 93 : 41
Therefore, the ratio of melons to apples is 93:41.
