Question

.. Find the ratio of; 500m to 10km​

Answer 1

500 m = 1.5 km

1.5 km : 10 km

3 : 20

Answer 2

The ratio of 500m to 10km is 1/20.

Given:

Two quantities, 500m, and 10km​.

To Find:

The ratio of 500m to 10km​.

Solution:

We will use the concepts given below to solve this problem:

a) 1 km = 1000m.

b) Ratios are a division of two quantities being compared. They are dimensionless.

So, to find the ratio of two quantities, we need to make sure that both these quantities have the same units.

We have been given two quantities, 500m, and 10km​.

Let us write the quantities in terms of meters.

So, 10km = 10 x 1000 = 10000m.

So the two quantities are 500m and 10000m.

Hence, the ratio of 500m to 10km = the ratio of 500m to 10000m.

= 500/10000 = 1/20.

∴ The ratio of 500m to 10km is 1/20.
