Question

express the following ratios in simplest form - 5 m 50 cm: 60 m​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of two quantities can be calculated only when they are of same units.

So, converting 2metres into cm, we get 200cm

Ratio of given quantities =55cm:200cm

Simplifying it by dividing by 5, we get the ratio =11:40

Answer 2

11:120 is the simplest form as 1m = 100cm

5m = 500cm, 60m = 6000cm

hence, 550:6000 in lowest terms is 11:120
