Question

Write the following as ratios in their simplest forms.
(a) 25 kg to 80 kg
(b) 8 min to 50 sec​

Answer 1

Answer:

First we need to convert the given ratio into fraction,

= 30/15, [divide both the numerator and denominator by 15 since, the h.c.f. of 30 and 15 is 15]

= 2/1

= 2 : 1

Answer 2

a) 25/ 80

= 5/16

b) 480sec/50 sec

= 48/5
