Question

The speed of a garden snail is 50 meters per hour and that of the cheetah is 120 kilometers per hour. Find the ratio of the speeds

Answer 1

1km=1000m
Speed of cheetah=120×1000m
=120000m
Speed of garden snail=50m
RATIO
=50:120000
=50/120000
=1:2400

Answer 2

Answer:

1 : 2400

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question

The speed of the a garden snail is 50 m/h,

and the speed of the cheetah is 120 km/h.

We are to find the ratio of the speed.

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

∴ 120 km = 120 x 1000 m

               = 120000 m

The ratio of the speed = 50 : 120000

                                      = 1 : 2400 (Answer)
