Given:
Two quantities 40 cm and 1 meter.
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 40 centimeters and 1 meter. The units of the two quantities are different. Hence, we have to make the units similar.
=> The value of 1 meter is 100 cm,
=> The ratio of 40 cm and 1 meters is,
=> 40 cm / 1 meter,
=> 40 cm/ 100 cm, ( Units are same hence operation can be performed ).
=> (20x2)/(20x5).
=> 2/5
3. 40 cm : 1 meter = 2:5
Therefore, the ratio of 40 cm and 1 meter is 2:5.
