Answer 2

Answer:

Suppose you have a 1 metre wire

1 metre is equal to 1000 cm .

Now , actually , you can say that you have 1000 cm long wire .

Now , we know that 20 × 50 = 1000 ,

It means that a 20 cm long wire needs to be 50 times more long to be equal as 1000 cm . Hence , The 20 cm long wire is 50 times less than 1000 cm long wire . Or ultimately , we can say that 1000 cm long wire is 50 times more than 20 cm long wire . Hence , your required fraction is 1 / 50 .
