Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is ratio = 9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Sylvia  3:45

Paul     4:35

Ratio    Sylvia / Paul

Process

1.- Convert the time to minutes

Sylvia               1 h --------------- 60 min

                        3 h --------------- x

                        x = (3 x 60) / 1

                        x = 180 min

           Total time = 180 + 45 = 225 min

Paul

                        1 h --------------- 60 min

                        4 h -------------- x

                        x = (4 x 60) / 1

                        x = 240 min

           Total time = 240 + 35 = 275 min

2.- Find the ratio  Sylvia / Paul

              225/275 = 45/55 = 9/11
