Question

What is the ratio of length in 15mtrs. Of cloth and 60cmof measuring tape.

Answer 1

The ratio of length in 15m of cloth and 60 cm of measuring tape is 25 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the ratio of length in 15 m of cloth and 60 cm of measuring tape.

Suppose there are two persons Rohan and John. Rohan had Rs 2,000 and John had Rs 4,000. So, the ratio of money Rohan and John had is given by;

Ratio  =  $\frac{2,000}{4,000} =\frac{1}{2}$

          = 1 : 2

Similarly, Length of cloth = 15 m

Converting the length of cloth in cm because both the numbers must be in same units.

      1 m = 100 cm

     15 m = 15 $\times$ 100 = 1500 cm

Length of measuring tape = 60 cm

So, the required ratio =  $\frac{\text{Length of cloth}}{\text{Length of measuring tape}}$

                                    =  $\frac{1500}{60}$  =  25 : 1
