Question from manoj:

in a dept there are 350 employees and in the other there are 158 find ratio

Manoj,

In my class there are 25 girls and 15 boys so the ratio of girls to boys is 25:15. Ratios can be simplified just like fractions so, since 25 and 15 are both divisible by 5 the ratio of girls to boys in my class is 5:3.

Now try your problem,
Penny
