    exp(-Ea/RT2)/exp(-Ea/RT1) = R2/R1

    R is gas constant

    use T in Kelvins

    try different Eas and see what fits the best

    You have the time to type out word for word the question, but you can't read the book for yourself and do your own homework like everybody else!? At least try wikipedia. PS) I might actually try to help you if your book has formulas. Look thru those first 19 pages of yours and see if you see a formula.
