What is ratio?

"The ratio is defined as the comparison of two quantities of the same units that indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity. Ratios can be classified into two types. One is part to part ratio and the other is part to whole ratio. The part-to-part ratio denotes how two distinct entities or groups are related. For example, the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 12: 15, whereas, the part-to-whole ratio denotes the relationship between a specific group to a whole. For example, out of every 10 people, 5 of them like to read books. Therefore, the part to the whole ratio is 5: 10, which means every 5 people from 10 people like to read books."

The speed of the bike = 12.5 miles/hour

So, the distance will be = [tex]25/2 * 5 = 125/2[/tex]

Time taken = [tex]125/2 * 1/12.5[/tex]

= 5 hours

Hence, the time taken to get to the zoo = 5 hours
