Question
Samira sells newspapers at Janpath crossing daily. On a particular day, she had 312 newspapers out of which 216 are in English and remaining in Hindi. Find the ratio of the number of Hindi newspapers to the total number of newspapers.
Solution
Total number of newspapers = 312.
Number of English newspapers = 216
∴ Number of Hindi newspapers = 312 – 216 = 96
The required ratio = `"Number of Hindi newspapers"/"Total number of newspapers"`
= `96/312 = 4/13` = 4:13
