If it takes Mark twice as long to earn $6.00 as it takes Carl to earn $4.00, what is the
ratio of Mark’s pay per hour to Carl’s pay per hour?


Sagot :

If it takes Mark twice as long to make $6.00 than Carl making $4.00, this means Mark made $3.00 in the time it took Carl to make $4.00.
So the ratio is $3.00 to $4.00, or 3/4.

The ratio of Mark’s pay per hour to Carl’s pay per hour is 3:4 given that Mark takes twice as long as to earn $6.00 as it takes Carl to earn $4.00. This can be obtained by dividing their hourly wages.

What is the required ratio?

Given that, Mark takes twice as long as to earn $6.00 as it takes Carl to earn $4.00.

(Time taken for Mark to earn $6)=2×(Time taken for Carl to earn $4)

Time taken for Mark to earn $3 = Time taken for Carl to earn $4

This means that Mark takes the same amount of time to earn $3.00 as Carl earn $4.00.

Thus the ratio of Mark’s pay per hour to Carl’s pay per hour, 3/4 = 3:4
