Section A: Ratio and Proportion (10 marks)

1. Simplify ( 2.5 : \frac{3}{4} ). [2]

Solution:

  1. Convert decimal to fraction: ( 2.5 = \frac{5}{2} )
  2. Write ratio: ( \frac{5}{2} : \frac{3}{4} )
  3. Multiply both sides by LCM of denominators (4): ( 10 : 3 )
  4. Check: 10 and 3 share no common factor other than 1.

Answer: ( 10 : 3 )

Marking: 1 mark for correct conversion; 1 mark for correct final answer.
