Question

17 Rupees, 25 Rupees 60 paise. Write the ratio of first quantity to second quantity in the reduced form.

Answer 1

17 Rupees = 1700 paise

25 Rupees 60 paise = 2500 + 60

= 2560 paise

Required ratio = 1700 / 2560

= 170 / 256

= 85 / 128

= 85 : 128

Answer 2

Answer:

$\rm 17\ Rupees\ :\ 25\ Rupees\ 60\ paise }=85:128.$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$\rm 1\ Rupee=100\ paise$.

We can find the ratio of these two quantities in reduced form by first reducing the two in the same units and then finding the ratio as follows:

$\rm 17\ Rupees = 17\times 100\ paise = 1700\ paise.\\25\ Rupees = 25\times 100\ paise =2500\ paise.\\\therefore 25\ Rupees\ 60\ paise = 2500\ paise\ +\ 60\ paise=2560\ paise.$

Now on finding the ratio of the first quantity, which is 17 Rupees, to the second quantity, which is 25 Rupees 60 paise, in reduced form,

$\rm \dfrac{17\ Rupees}{25\ Rupees\ 60\ paise}=\dfrac{1700}{2560}=\dfrac{85}{128}.$

Therefore,

$\rm 17\ Rupees\ :\ 25\ Rupees\ 60\ paise}=85:128.$
