- 1:2 (Correct answer)
- 3:9
- 9:27
- 3:18
Correct answer: 1:2
Total = 54 hundred; Bank Q = 18 hundred; ratio = 18:54 = 1:3... wait, 18/54 = 1/3, so 1:3.
Question 2: A line graph shows credit card transactions (millions) from 2018–2022: 10, 14, 18, 24, 30. What was the average annual growth in transactions between 2018 and 2022?

- 5 million (Correct answer)
- 4.5 million
