Answer 2

Given:

5mm to 2cm

To Find:

The ratio of the given

Solution:

A ratio is a way of comparing two quantities of the same unit in the form of a:b which is equivalent to a/b.

It must be noted that two quantities must have the same unit of measurement.

In the given question 5mm and 2cm are different units, so we will need to convert them into the same units.

So converting 2 cm into mm we have,

2cm=2*10mm

2cm=20mm

So now finding the ratio,

[tex]Ratio=\frac{5mm}{2cm}\\ =\frac{5mm}{20mm} \\ =\frac{1}{4} \\ =1:4[/tex]

Hence, the ratio of 5mm to 2cm is 1:4.
