Answers
Given
- Raghu bought 5 litres of oil.
- Vijay bought 600ml of oil.
To Find
The ratio of the quantity of oil bought by Raghu and Vijay.
Solution
As we can see, the quantities of oil bought by Raghu and Vijay are given in different units.
At first, we need to convert the quantities into one similar unit.
We know that 1 litre is equal to 1000ml.
∴ 5 litres = 5×1000ml = 5000ml.
Now the quantities of oil are in the same unit 'ml'.
We will hence find the required ratio in the following steps:-
The required ratio
=quantity of oil bought by Raghu : quantity of oil bought by Vijay
=5 litres : 600 ml
=5000 ml : 600 ml
=50:6 (As the units are the same, they can be neglected. The zeroes are dismissed on both sides)
= 25:3 (Both the values are divided by their common factor 2)
Hence, the ratio of the quantity of oil bought by Raghu and Vijay is 25:3
Step-by-step explanation:
Raghu bought =5 l of oil
Vijay bought =600 ml of oil
The ratio of the quantity of oil bought by Raghu and Vijay .
1 liters =100ml
• 5 litre = 5 × 1000 ml = 5000 ml
5liter = 600 ml
5000 ml = 600 ml
*5000/600
*50/6
*25/3
Answer = The ratio of the quantity of all Bird by Raghu and Vijay is 25:3.
