Question

Express each of the following ratios in its simplest form i) a population of 50 thousand to a population of 1.5 lakh ii) 14 cm to 1m iii) 25 cm to 50 mm iv) 15 m to 1km ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 15/10 × 100000

= 150000

50000/150000

= 1/3

= 1:3

2. 1m = 100 cm

1m = 1×100cm

= 100 cm

14cm/100cm

= 7/20

= 7:20

3. 1cm= 10mm

25cm= 25×10m

= 250mm

250mm/50mm

= 5/1

= 5:1

4. 1km = 1000m

1km = 1×1000m

= 1000m

15m/1000m

= 3/200

= 3:200
