= 305 cm : 35 cm
= 305 : 35
= 61 : 7.
(iv) The given ratio = 48 min : 2 hours 40 min
= 48 min : (2  60 + 40) min
= 48 min : (120 + 40) min

Q.9. Divide Rs. 3450 among A, B and C in
the ratio 3 : 5 : 7.
Sol. Total amount = Rs. 3450
Ratio in A, B and C shares = 3 : 5 : 7
Sum of share = 3 + 5 + 7 = 15
A’s share = Rs. 
15
