Question

Find the ratio of:
(a) ₹ 5 to 50 paise
(b) 15 kg to 210 g
(c) 9 m to 27 cm
(d) 30 days to 36 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 10 : 1
(b) 500 : 7
(c) 100 : 3
(d) 20 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) ₹ 5 to 50 paise

Converting the given quantities into same units, we have

₹ 5 = 5 × 100 = 500 paise

∴ ₹ 5 : 50 paise

= 500 paise : 50 paise [∵ ₹ 1 = 100 paise]

= 10 : 1

So, required ratio is 10 : 1

b) 15 kg to 210 g

Converting the given quantities into same units, we have

15 kg = 15 × 1000

= 15000 g [∵ 1 kg = 1000 g]

∴ 15 kg : 210 g = 15000 g : 210 g

= 1500 : 21

= 500 : 7

So, the required ratio is 500 : 7

(c) 9 m to 27 cm

Converting the given quantities into same units, we have

9 m = 9 × 100 = 900 cm

∴ 9m: 27 cm = 900 cm : 27 cm [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]

= 100 : 3

So, the required ratio is 100 : 3

(d) 30 days to 36 hours

Converting the given quantities into same units, we have

30 days = 30 × 24 hours [ ∵ 1 day = 24 hours]

= 720 hours

∴ 30 days : 36 hours

= 720 hours : 36 hours
= 20 : 1

So, the required ratio is 20 : 1

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 10 : 1

(b) 500 : 7

(c) 100 : 3

(d) 20 : 1
