Question
Sleeping time of a python in a 24 hour clock is represented by the shaded portion in figure.
The ratio of sleeping time to awaking time is ______.
Solution
Sleeping time of a python in a 24 hour clock is represented by the shaded portion in figure.
The ratio of sleeping time to awaking time is 3:1.
Explanation:
By observing above figure, we have sleeping time of python = 18 h
Awaking time of python = (24 - 18) = 6 h
Ratio of sleeping time to awaking time = `(18 h)/(6 h)`
= `3/1` ....[On dividing numerator and denominator by 6]
