Question

Mark and Henry are marking exam papers. Each set takes Mark 25 minutes and Henry 1 hour. Express the times Mark and Henry take as a ratio.
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: The ratio in its simplest form is 5:12.

Step-by-step explanation: Since we have given that

Time taken by Mark = 25 minutes

Time taken by Henry = 1 hour

As we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, Ratio of time of Mark and Henry would be

Mark's time   :   Henry's time

   25             :            60

    5              :             12

So, the ratio in its simplest form is 5:12.

Answer 2

Mark takes 25 minutes

Henry takes 1 hour = 60 minutes

The ratio of the time taken by Mark and Henry = 25:60

= 5:12
