![**Question 16:**
CAD drafter A generates 24 architectural symbols in 12 hours. CAD operator B generates 24 symbols in 8 hours. What is the ratio of drafter A's time to drafter B's time?
- 2:3 (Selected)
- 1.5:1
- 4:1
- 1:4
**Explanation:**
The task is to find the ratio of the time taken by both drafters to generate the same number of symbols. Drafter A takes 12 hours, while Drafter B takes 8 hours. Therefore, the ratio of A's time to B's time is calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} = 2:3 \]
The correct answer is 2:3, as selected.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F40be5c2c-804f-4b57-b860-974bee2ae586%2F8ae2cafc-ee42-4e36-b6be-9b7dd35d1ff1%2Fevxr0on_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
