Aboat has a mass of 31,999 kg and a plane has a mass of 110,000 kg. what is the ratio of weight of the plane to the boat?
a. 3.44 : 1
b. 2.14: 1
c. 9.96: 1
d. 20.12: 1

A. 3.44 :1

We use ratios to compare things, that is, this helps us to know how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. We can express ratios in different ways:

In this exercise, we know that:

And we want to know the ratio of weight of the plane to the boat. So, if:

a: mass of the boat 31,999 kg

b: mass of the plane 110,000 kg

Then, the ratio of weight of the plane to the boat is:

So the correct option is A. 3.44:1
