Henry and Gavin are marking exam papers. Each set takes Henry 36 minutes and Gavin 1 hour. Express the times Henry and Gavin take as a ratio.
Give your answer in its simplest form.
So, taking the ratio of the time taken by Henry to the time taken by Gavin is: (36 mins/ 60 mins) = (36/60) = 3:5 [Taking minutes as the common unit for both of the cases.] Thus the ratio is 3:5 in simplest form.
