Question

find the ratio between 3.5 metre 475 cm and 2.8 metre

Answer 1

First of all convert the given quantity from meter to centimetre.

therefore,

3.5 m 475 cm = (3.5 × 100 + 575) cm

= (350+475) cm

= 825 cm

and,

2.8 m = (2.8 × 100)cm = 280 cm

Now,

for finding ratio,

we have to divide one of them by the other,

so,


ratio between them is

$= \frac{825}{280}$

$= \frac{165}{56}$

Hence,

ratio = $\bold{165 : 56}$
