Question

express each of the following ratios in the simplest form: (i)36 minutes to 1½ hours​

Answer 1

Answer:

You see here the two are in different units.

So convert 1 1/2 hrs into mins.

So 1 1/2 hrs= 60+30=90 mins.

Now the ratio is 36:90

To simplify divide 36 and 90 with the HCF, i.e.,18.

So 36/18=2 and 90/18=5.

So simplified ratio is 2:5.

So ratio of 36 mins to 1 1/2 hrs simplified is 2:5.
