Question

Find the ratio of the following
a) 5m to km b)50 paisa to rs 5

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1:200      b)1:10

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First we must keep the units same to get the ratio. So we change the

1 km  into metres:

1 km = 1000 m

As 5 m and 1000 m have the same value we can go on to calculate the ratio.

so the ratio we get is 5:1000, we then divide to get the simpler form:

5/1000 = 1/200 i.e. 1:200

Hence, the ratio for your first question is 1:200

b) In the same way:

we must convert the values to make it same as same unit;

So, Rs.1 = 100 paise

Rs.5 = 5*100 = 500 paise

Now we calculate the ratio;

50:500 = 50/500 = 1/10

Hence, we get the ratio as 1:10.
