Dear chiccufrazer1,
I have NEVER seen an official math question ask anything like a "close to" question of this sort. The exact ratio here is, of course, 22/21 --- I could imagine the GMAT asking for that. I could also imagine an approximation question --- if they made this much in this period, how much would they make in this larger period? Finally, I don't think the GMAT would ever expect test takers to recognize without a calculator that, for example, 22/21 is closer to 12/11 than it is to 5/4.
I believe this question has in it, as it were, the seeds of one or two very good questions, but with all due respect, in its current form, I don't believe it would ever appear on the GMAT.

okay..if there happened to be some eratum in the question,i am really sorry about that,maybe the answer was predicted to be some sort of approximation to a whole number..but would you please explain on how you ended up getting 22:21..i just wanted to know clearly how it is possible to have ratio from unequal two separate number of days
