Question

the ratio 2.5 metres to 60 centimetres can be written in the form 1:n find the value of n

Answer 1

Answer:

60 cm = 0.6m

so

ratio of 2.5:0.6::1:n

now,

2.5×n= 0.6×1

n=0.6/2.5

n =0.24 m

Or n = 24cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of n is 6/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that,

1 meter = 100 centimeters

Then,

2.5 meters = 100 × 2.5 centimeters

                  = 250 centimeters

Step 1 of 2

According to the question,

The ratio is = 2.5 meters/60 centimeters

or,

Ratio = 250 cm/60 cm

        = 25/6

Write the ratio in the 1:n form as follows:

Ratio = $1:n$

  $\frac{1}{6/25}$ = $1 : (6/25)$ . . . . . (1)

Step 2 of 2

Find the value of n when ratio is written in the form 1:n.

From the equation (1), we have

$1:n=1 : (6/25)$

Compare both the sides as follows:

⇒ n = 6/25

Therefore, the value of n is 6/25.
