Sylvia Alvarez · Answer 1

the ratio of increase is 1.11 or 11%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the increment ratio, we must divide the value of the hours of the current week by the value of the hours of the previous week.

R = Current week / Previous week

replacing

R = 50/45

R = 1.11

In other words, the ratio of increase is 1.11 or 11%.
