Answer:
Ratio defined as a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second.
i.e, a to b = a : b
Given the statement: Pam takes 45 minutes to drive to work and 60 minutes to drive home from work.
⇒ Time Pam takes to drive from home to work = 45 minutes
and
Time Pam spends to drive from work to home = 60 minutes
By definition of Ratio:
[tex]Ratio = \frac{Time Pam Spends driving home from work}{Time Pam spends driving to work }[/tex]
then;
[tex]Ratio =\frac{60}{45}=\frac{12}{9}= \frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of time Pam spends driving home from work to the time she spends driving to work in three different ways are;
60 : 45
12 : 9 and
4 : 3
