Question

determine the ratio of 60 cm to 1.5 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.5 m = 150 cm

60/150 = 6/15 = (2×3)/(5×3) = 2/5

Answer 2

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the ratio of the given numbers.

As per question,

It is given that,

60 cm and 1.5 m

As we know that,

Ratio of two or more quantities are only determined if the unit for both the quantities are same.

While calculating the ratio of two or more numbers we need to convert the given terms in its simplest form.

As here,

The units for both the quantities are not same.

So, we will convert 1.5 m into cm.

As, 1 m = 100 cm

So, 1.5 m = 150 cm

So, the ratio will be,

$\frac{60}{150} \\=> \frac{6}{15}\\=>\frac{2}{5}$

So, the required ratio will be 2:5
