Question

Find the ratio of 1 km and 250 metres

Answer 1

Step by step solution for you

1 km =1000m

therefore ratio of 1 km and 250 m will be

1000:250 = 1000/250 = 4/1 = 4:1

Answer 2

Given:  

Two quantities 1 Km and 250 meters.  

To Find:  

The ratio of the two quantities is?  

Solution:  

1. The ratio of two quantities a and b is calculated by using the formula (a/b). The ratio of a and b is denoted as a:b.  

=> a:b simply implies a/b.  

2. The given quantities are 1 Km and 250 meters. The units of the two quantities are different. Hence, we have to make the units similar.  

=> The value of 1 Km is 1000 meters,  

=> The ratio of 1 Km and 250 meters is,  

=> 1 Km/ 250 meters,  

=> 1000 meters/ 250 meters, ( Units are same hence operation can be performed  ).  

=> (250x4)/250.  

=> 4/1.

3. 1 Km/ 250 meters = 4 : 1

Therefore, the ratio of 1 Km and 250 meters is 4:1.
