Question

91 cm to 1.04 m find the ratio of the following in simplest form

Answer 1

Ratio of 91cm to 1.04 m

Converting 1.04 m in cms. We know that the value of 1m is 100 cm. therefore the value of 1.04 m(1m + 0.4 m )  will be 100 cm + ( 0.4 * 100 cm ) ⇒ 140 cm

Therefore,

Ratio 91 cm to 1.04 m = $\dfrac{91\:cm}{1.04\:m}$

                                    = $\dfrac{91\:cm}{140\:cm}$

                                     = $\dfrac{13*7\:\cancel{cm}}{20*7\:\cancel{cm}}$

                                     = $\dfrac{13}{24}$

             

                                      = 13 : 20

Therefore, 91 cm to 1.04 m in simplest form is 13 : 20
