Answer 2

Concept

Ratio of the two numbers shows how many times a number is contained within the other. The ratio between two numbers a and b is denoted by a : b.

Given

0.6 times of one number is equal to 0.025 times the other

Find

we need to find the ratio of the two numbers

Solution

Let us assume that the two given numbers are x and y respectively

According to the question, we have

0.6x = 0.025y

⇒ x = 0.025y/0.6

x/y = 0.025/0.6

x/y = 0.25/6

x/y = 25/600

x/y = 1/24

Thus, the ratio of the two numbers is 1/24 or 1 : 24.
