Given:-

Ratio 2cm:5m

• Ratio can be solved if the units of th terms are same
• But here they are not same
• So,we will convert m into cm
• 1m=100cm
• So,5m=500cm....

Let's solve further

2cm:500cm

$\frac{2}{500} = \frac{1}{250}$

$So,it's \: simplest \: form \: is \frac{1}{250} and \: ratio \: 1:250$
