Given:
Kelly spends 5 hours each week playing softball and 4 hours each week practicing her violin.
To find:
The ratio of hours spent practicing violin to hours spent playing softball three different ways.
Solution:
We have,
Time spend on Softball = 5 hours
Time spend on Violin = 4 hours
The ratio to hours spent practicing violin to hours spent playing softball is
[tex]\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Time spend on Violin}}{\text{Time spend on Softball}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]\text{Required ratio}=4:5[/tex]
[tex]\text{Required ratio}=4\text{ to }5[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of hours spent practicing violin to hours spent playing softball three different ways are [tex]\dfrac{4}{5}, 4:5[/tex] and 4 to 5.
