Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. According to the problem, company R manufactures shirts and pants in the ratio 1:2.

2. The total number of shirts and pants manufactured by R is given as 800.

3. Let the number of shirts manufactured by R be *x* and pants be *2x*.

4. Therefore, total for R: *x + 2x = 3x = 800*.

5. Solving for *x* gives: $$x = \frac{800}{3} \approx 266.67$$ shirts.

6. For company T, the total number of shirts and pants manufactured is 1000.

7. We need to find the ratio of shirts manufactured by R to the total shirts and pants manufactured by T:

$$	ext{Ratio} = \frac{266.67}{1000} = \frac{800/3}{1000} = \frac{800}{3000} = \frac{8}{30} = \frac{4}{15}$$

8. To express this ratio in simplest integer form, multiply numerator and denominator by 2 to get:

$$\frac{4}{15} = \frac{8}{30}$$

But none of the options show 4:15 or 8:30, so let's check the options carefully.

9. The closest matching option is 6:25, which is approximately 0.24, and our ratio is approximately 0.2667.

10. Re-examining the problem, the ratio 6:25 corresponds to 0.24, which is closest to our calculated ratio.

**Answer:** 6:25
