Chapter 8, Problem 12STP

To determine

The meaning of the ratio of sets of junior clubs to the total number of sets of golf clubs to the total number of sets of golf clubs as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer to Problem 12STP

By reducing the fraction by a factor $4$ to have the ratio. This means in every $24$ sets of go;f clubs, there are $5$ junior clubs.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $20$ out of $112$ sets of golf clubs are junior clubs.

Concept Used:

Ratio :

  $a:b=\frac{a}{b}$

Where,

  $a:20$

  $b:112$

Calculation:

Total of sets $20$ out of $112$ sets of golf clubs are junior clubs.

  $\begin{array}{l}a:b=\frac{a}{b}\\ a:b=\frac{20}{112}\\ a:b=\frac{5.4}{28.4}\\ a:b=\frac{5}{28}\end{array}$

Reduce the fraction by a factor $4$ to have the ratio. This means in every $24$ sets of go;f clubs, there are $5$ junior clubs.

Conclusion:

Hence, by reducing the fraction by a factor $4$ to have the ratio. This means in every $24$ sets of go;f clubs, there are $5$ junior clubs.
