Answer 2

Answer:

∴ The ratio of 2m40cm:1m44cm will be 5:3

Explanation:

2m40cm:1m44cm

We know that,

1 meter =100cm

So, we can convert meter into centimeter as follows:

2 meter =2×100 centimeters

=200  centimeters

1 meter =1×100 centimeter

=100 centimeters

So, the above expression can be written as follows:

(100+44)centimeters

(200+40)centimeters

​

= 144/240

​

On calculating further, we get

= 12/20

= 3/5

=5:3
