What is Ratio?

A ratio is defined as a relationship between two quantities, it is expressed as one divided by the other

We have been given that 1 m of cloth costs rupees 17⅓.

We have to determine the cost of 12¼ m of cloth.

Let the cost of 12¼ m of cloth would be x rupees

We can write this as a ratio as

1 m : rupees 17⅓ = 12¼ m : x rupees

[17⅓ = 52/3 = 17.3 and 12¼ = 49/4 = 12.25]

1 m : 17.3 rupees  = 12.25 m : x rupees

⇒ 1 /17.3  = 12.25 /x    

⇒ (1)(x) = (12.25 )×(17.3)

⇒ x = 212.3

Therefore, the cost of 12¼ m of cloth is 212.3 rupees.
