Question

48 min to 2 hours 40 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

Two quantities are 48min and 2hours 40min.

To find the ratio both the quantities should be in the same units.

Let us convert both units into minutes,

2 hours 40min = (2 x 60) + 40 = 120 + 40 = 160 min (1hr = 60min)

Ratio = 48: 160

= 48160=310

= 3: 10.

Hence, the ratio in simplest form of the given data is 3: 10.

Note – The key in solving such problems is to know the definition of ratio. Ratio indicates the number of times one number contains the other. It can be found by dividing both the numbers. It is expressed by the ‘is-to’ symbol (:).

Simplest form is the form where the two numbers cannot be reduced into other natural numbers by factoring.
