Answer 2

Given:  

Two quantities Rs 5 and 75 paise

To Find:  

The ratio of the two quantities is?  

Solution:  

1. The ratio of two quantities a and b is calculated by using the formula (a/b). The ratio of a and b is denoted as a:b.  

=> a:b simply implies a/b.  

2. The given quantities are Rs 5 and 75 paise. The units of the two quantities are different. Hence, we have to make the units similar.  

=> The value of 1 rupee is 100 paise,

=> The value of 5 rupees is 500 paise,  

=> The ratio of 5 rupees and 75 paise is,  

=> 5 rupees/ 75 paise,  

=> 500 paise/ 75 paise, ( Units are the same hence operation can be performed  ).  

=> 20/3

3. 5 rupees / 75 paise = 20 : 3

Therefore, the ratio of 5 rupees to 75 paise is 20:3.
